title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Nephila clavata (Araneae: Nephilidae) Chinese population.
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Nephila clavata is a circular molecule of 14,433 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The A + T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 76.1% (T: 40.0%; C: 9.2%; A: 36.1%; G: 14.7%). COI gene begins with TTA as start codon, COII gene begins with TTT as start codon, COIII gene begins with TTG as start codon, ND3, ND4L, ND6 and ATP8 genes begin with ATT as start codon, while other six protein-coding genes start with ATA as initiation codon. ND3, ND4, ND4L, ND5, COI, COII, ATP6 and ATP8 genes are terminated with TAA as stop codon, ND1, ND2, ND6 and Cyt b end with TAG, and COIII ends with TGA.
