Mitochondrial gene orders of the six oribatid mite species. The mitogenome orders obtained from different annotations for Steganacarus magnus, Paraleius leontonychus, Oribatula sp., Hermannia gibba and Platynothrus peltifer. The gray boxes indicate re-annotated genes. The green boxes indicate the newly predicted tRNAs. The underlined genes were present on the (−)-strand. The genes are presented in the original order. Intergenic distances are not included, and sizes of genes are not to scale. The tRNA annotation methods are indicted in different colors at the end of each sequence (tRANscan-SE in yellow, ARWEN in orange, minimum free energy in light blue, MITOS in black, MITOS2 in purple, manual annotation using anticodon and secondary structure in blue and manual annotation using sequence alignmentsin pink)
