title: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Chinese peacock, Papilio bianor (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Papilionidae).
abstract: The sequence of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the Chinese peacock Papilio bianor has been completed. It is 15,332 bp with an A + T content of 80.6% and contains the typical complement of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), and 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Comparison of this sequence with the sequences of the other completely sequenced insect mitogenomes showed that the gene order and orientation are basically identical to that of Drosophila yakuba with the exception of the rearrangement of one tRNA gene. Nucleotide composition is very similar with other insects, showing a high bias toward A + T.
