Mitochondrial Genome and Distribution Records of Leptoglossus Occidentalis

A complete mitochondrial genome sequence for the invasive pest Leptoglossus occidentalis, assembled from sequencing data. The genome is 15752 base pairs long with an A+T content of 72.9% and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. The dataset also includes new distribution records for the species from Tianjin, Shaanxi, and Guangdong Provinces in China.

Use Cases

• Conducting phylogenetic analysis based on the reported mitochondrial genome sequence.
• Studying the genetic structure and evolution of invasive insect populations.
• Mapping the spread of Leptoglossus occidentalis based on the new distribution records.
• Comparing mitochondrial gene arrangements and content within the Coreidae family.

Strengths

• Provides the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence for Leptoglossus occidentalis.
• Includes specific genomic metrics: total length of 15752 bp and A+T content of 72.9%.
• Documents new geographic distribution records from three Chinese provinces.

Limitations

• The primary data format is DOCX, which may require conversion for bioinformatics workflows.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Data freshness should be verified; last updated 2026-05-12 12:18:40.
