Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Nov;27(6):4455-4456. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1089568. Epub 2015 Oct 5.
In this study, complete mitochondrial genome of the large earth bumblebee, Bombus terrestris, was first determined. The mitochondrial genome is 174 000 bp in length, and encodes 1 D-loop region, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and 20 transfer RNA genes. Average GC content of this genome is 15%. nad6 and cob are overlapped with 12 bp, while atp8 and atp6 are overlapped with 18 bp. Phylogeny analysis indicates Bombus species exhibit closer genetic distance with Melipona species than with Apis species.
在本研究中，首次测定了大地熊蜂（Bombus terrestris）的完整线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组长度为174000 bp，编码1个D环区域、2个核糖体RNA基因、13个蛋白质编码基因和20个转运RNA基因。该基因组的平均GC含量为15%。nad6和cob重叠12 bp，而atp8和atp6重叠18 bp。系统发育分析表明，熊蜂属物种与无刺蜂属物种的遗传距离比与蜜蜂属物种更近。
