As part of a genome sequencing project for Ophiocordyceps sinensis, strain 1229, a
complete mitochondrial (mt) genome was assembled as a single circular dsDNA of 157,510
bp, one of the largest reported for fungi. Conserved genes including the large and small
rRNA subunits, 27 tRNA and 15 protein-coding genes, were identified. In addition, 58 non-
conserved open reading frames (ncORFs) in the intergenic and intronic regions were also
identified. Transcription analyses using RNA-Seq validated the expression of most …
