The complete mitochondrial genome of the yellow coloured honeybee from North Island, New Zealand was analyzed using next-generation sequencing. The mitochondrial genome was a 16,349bp circular molecule and was predicted to contain 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes. The initiation codon ATA was found in two genes, ATG in four genes, ATT in six genes, and ATC in one gene, while the termination codon TAA was observed in all the PCGs. Phylogenetic analysis using the sequence of 23 closely related taxa suggested a sister relationship with the Italian strain .
利用下一代测序技术对来自新西兰北岛的黄色蜜蜂的完整线粒体基因组进行了分析。线粒体基因组是一个16349bp的环状分子，预计包含13个蛋白质编码基因（PCGs）、22个tRNA基因和两个rRNA基因。在两个基因中发现起始密码子ATA，四个基因中为ATG，六个基因中为ATT，一个基因中为ATC，而在所有PCGs中均观察到终止密码子TAA。使用23个密切相关分类群的序列进行的系统发育分析表明，它与意大利品系存在姐妹关系。
