We analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the 'Buckfast bee', collected from North Ireland, UK. It consisted of a circular molecule of 16,353 bp. The genome contained 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes, along with one A + T-rich control region. The average AT content was 84.9%. The genes ATP8 and ATP6 shared 19 nucleotides. A phylogenetic analysis, suggested that the matriline 'Buckfast bee' has remained most closely related to the race from which it originated in 1917, despite being cross-bred with many other races over the past 100 years.
我们分析了从英国北爱尔兰采集的“巴克法斯特蜂”的完整线粒体基因组。它由一个16353bp的环状分子组成。该基因组包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因和2个rRNA基因，以及一个富含A+T的控制区。平均AT含量为84.9%。ATP8和ATP6基因共有19个核苷酸。系统发育分析表明，尽管在过去100年里与许多其他品种进行了杂交，但“巴克法斯特蜂”的母系仍然与它1917年起源的品种关系最为密切。
