The complete mitochondrial genome of the western honey bee subspecies was sequenced. This mitochondrial genome is 16,248 bp in length, with 37 classical eukaryotic mitochondrial genes and an A + T-rich region. Gene direction and arrangement are similar to those of other mitogenomes. All genes initiate with ATT (six genes), ATG (four genes), ATA (two genes), and ATC (one gene) start codons and terminate with a TAA stop codon. Four genes are encoded on the heavy and nine on the light strands, respectively. All of the 22 tRNA genes, ranging from 66 to 78 bp, have a typical cloverleaf structure. The complete mitogenome of provides information on the biogeography and evolution of subspecies.
对西方蜜蜂亚种的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序。该线粒体基因组长度为16248 bp,包含37个经典的真核生物线粒体基因和一个富含A+T的区域。基因方向和排列与其他线粒体基因组相似。所有基因起始密码子为ATT(6个基因)、ATG(4个基因)、ATA(2个基因)和ATC(1个基因),终止密码子为TAA。分别有4个基因在重链上编码,9个基因在轻链上编码。所有22个tRNA基因长度在66至78 bp之间,具有典型的三叶草结构。该完整线粒体基因组为西方蜜蜂亚种的生物地理学和进化提供了信息。
