Molecular Research
Episymploce splendens from Mount Emei, China, was found to lack two tRNA genes (tRNA-Gln and tRNA-Met) in its mitochondrial —the first reported tRNA deletion in blattarian mitochondrial genomes. This also contains two nuclear mitochondrial transferred to the 14-24 million years ago.
