mitochondrial genome sequence of the Chagas disease vector, Triatoma dimidiata. Triatoma dimidiata

The complete sequence of the Triatoma dimidiata mitochondrial genome was determined at the Centers for Disease Control. The mitochondrial genome is typical of insects. It encodes 13 proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs.

美国疾病控制与预防中心（Centers for Disease Control）完成了二带锥蝽（Triatoma dimidiata）线粒体基因组的完整序列测定。该线粒体基因组具备昆虫线粒体基因组的典型特征，其编码13种参与氧化磷酸化过程的蛋白质、22种转运RNA（transfer RNA）以及2种核糖体RNA（ribosomal RNA）。
