Complete Mitochondrial DNA Sequence and Amino Acid Analysis of the Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I ( COI ) from Aedes aegypti
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
The complete sequence of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene has been identified. The nucleotide sequence codes for a 512 amino acid peptide. The AeCOI sequence is A + T rich (68.6%) and the codon usage is highly biased toward a preference for A- or T-ending triplets. The A. aegypti COI peptide shows high homology, up to 93% identity, with several other...
