The complete mitochondrial genome of the western honey bee subspecies was sequenced. This mitochondrial genome is 16,589 bp in length with 37 classical eukaryotic mitochondrial genes and an A + T-rich region. Gene directions and arrangements are similar to those of other mitogenomes. Seven genes begin with ATT, four with ATG, and two with ATA (none with ATC) and all genes terminate with TAA. Four genes are encoded on the heavy strand and nine are encoded on light strand. All of the 22 tRNA genes, ranging from 66 to 80 bp, have a typical cloverleaf structure. A phylogenetic tree showed that clusters with other subspecies, as expected.
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16589bp,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。七个基因以ATT起始,四个以ATG起始,两个以ATA起始(没有以ATC起始的),所有基因均以TAA终止。四个基因在重链上编码,九个基因在轻链上编码。所有22个tRNA基因长度在66至80bp之间,具有典型的三叶草结构。系统发育树显示,如预期的那样,该亚种与其他亚种聚类。
