The complete mitochondrial genome of tarantula spider Brachypelma boehmei
The complete mitogenome of tarantula spider (Brachypelma boehmei) was sequenced in this study. The complete mitochondrial genome is a typical double-stranded circular molecule of 13,852 bp containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and an A+T-rich region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Brachypelma boehmei is more closely related to Ornithotonus huwena. This mitochondrial genome can be used for further analyses of Theraphosidae mitochondrial comparative genomics to improve the understanding of diverse spider species.
