Petrobius brevistylis

has been determined. The genome

is 15 698 bp long and bears the standard set of genes

common to all arthropods as well as a major non-coding

A + T-rich region, the putative mitochondrial control

region. A unique gene order was revealed as it differs

from other hexapod and crustacean mitochondrial

genomes in the position of tRNA-Tyr. Genome features

like nucleotide composition and codon usage are compared

with that of other insect taxa. A + T content is similar

in species of Archaeognatha and Zygentoma, but

obviously lower than in Collembola and Pterygota. This

A + T bias significantly affects also amino acid frequencies

and may be a problem for phylogenetic analyses.}, keywords = {apterygote
