Mitochondrial gene-order data for comparative analysis of Leucoptera malifoliella and Lyonetiidae

This dataset contains the audited and normalized mitochondrial gene-order data used for comparative analysis of the invasive apple leaf blotch miner, Leucoptera malifoliella, and other sampled Lyonetiidae. The dataset includes six empirical mitogenomes (L. malifoliella S1, L. malifoliella S2, JN790955.1, OR438296.1, L. coffeella OR753213.1, and Lyonetia clerkella NC_037944.1) and two comparative reference arrangements representing the inferred ancestral insect IQM configuration and the typical ditrysian lepidopteran MIQ configuration. The deposited files provide CREx-compatible signed gene-order permutations, audited gene coordinates and lengths, a plot-ready source table, revision/audit notes, and detailed Materials and Methods. All six sampled Lyonetiidae contain 37 unique mitochondrial genes and share the same normalized signed gene order and strand arrangement, including the MIQ (trnM-trnI-trnQ) cluster adjacent to the control region. The ancestral rows use homologous-gene median lengths only as graphical proxies because physical ancestral sequence coordinates are unavailable; these values are not reconstructed ancestral gene lengths. The dataset underlies the comparative mitochondrial gene-order analysis and associated figure in the manuscript on mitogenomics of invasive Indian Leucoptera malifoliella.
