The complete mitochondrial genome of the yellow coloured honeybee Apis mellifera (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae) of New Zealand

The complete mitochondrial genome of the yellow coloured honeybee Apis mellifera 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...

Sumario:The complete mitochondrial genome of the yellow coloured honeybee Apis mellifera 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 A. mellifera ligustica.
