In this study, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the invasive Asian hornet from Japan. The mitochondrial genome of was identified as a circular molecule of 16,765 bp, similar to that in other hornet species. It was predicted to contain 13 protein-coding, 20 tRNA, and two rRNA genes, along with one A + T-rich control region. The initiation codons ATC was found in one, ATG in four, ATT in five, and ATA in three genes, while TAA was the termination codon in all these genes. The average AT content of 13 protein-coding was 82%.
在本研究中,我们分析了来自日本的入侵性亚洲大黄蜂的完整线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组被鉴定为一个16,765bp的环状分子,与其他黄蜂物种的线粒体基因组相似。预计它包含13个蛋白质编码基因、20个tRNA基因和两个rRNA基因,以及一个富含A+T的控制区。在一个基因中发现起始密码子为ATC,四个基因中为ATG,五个基因中为ATT,三个基因中为ATA,而所有这些基因的终止密码子均为TAA。13个蛋白质编码基因的平均AT含量为82%。
