The complete mitochondrial genome of the West African honey bee Apis mellifera adansonii (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of the West African honey bee Apis mellifera adansonii consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. It was 16,466 bp and consisted of 84.7% AT nucleotides. This subspecies had a similar mitogenome to those of other southern African honey bees, namely A. m. scutellata, A. m. capensis, and A. m. monticola.

The complete mitochondrial genome of an east African honey bee, Apis mellifera monticola Smith (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera monticola was sequenced and annotated. The genome is 16,343 bp in length and encodes all 37 mitochondrial genes with an A + T content of 84.8%. Gene directions and arrangements are identical to those of other sequenced mitogenomes in Apis. Most genes initiated with ATT, though ATG, ATA, and ATC also were used as start codons. All genes terminated with TAA. Four PCG genes, eight tRNAs and both rRNAs are encoded on the heavy strand while all others are coded on the light strand (nine PCGs and 14 tRNAs). Overall, the GC content composed 15.2% of the mitogenome. All of the 22 tRNA genes, ranging from 63 to 78 bp, have a typical cloverleaf structure. A phylogenetic tree showed that A.m. monticola clusters with other African subspecies.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Egyptian honey bee, Apis mellifera lamarckii (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of the western honey bee subspecies Apis mellifera lamarckii 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 Apis 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 A.m. lamarckii clusters with other A. mellifera subspecies, as expected.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera jemenitica (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae), the Arabian honey bee.

Project description:The mitochondrial genome of a worker Apis mellifera jemenitica was 16,623 bp. It consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs and a control region. Phylogenetic analyses suggest a close relationship between A. m. jemenitica, A. m. lamarckii and A. m. syriaca.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera unicolor (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae), the Malagasy honey bee.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of the endemic Malagasy honey bee Apis mellifera unicolor is 16,373 bp and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The mitochondrial genome closely resembles mitogenomes of other published Apis mellifera subspecies, and the phylogenetic analysis suggests that A. m. unicolor is distinct from other African (A) lineage honey bees but is most closely related to the honey bees from southern African: A. m. scutellata and A. m. capensis.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Cape honey bee, Apis mellifera capensis Esch. (Insecta: hymenoptera: apidae).

Project description:We characterized the complete mitogenome sequence of the Cape honey bee, Apis mellifera capensis, from South Africa. The circle genome is 16,470 bp in length, with the base composition of 43.2% A, 9.6% C, 5.6% G, and 41.5% T. The assembled mitogenome has 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one control region. All protein-coding genes are initiated by ATT, ATC, ATG or ATA codons and are terminated by the typical stop codon TAA. The heavy strand encodes four protein-coding genes, eight tRNAs, and two rRNAs. The light strand encodes nine protein-coding genes and 14 tRNAs. The complete mitogenome sequence of A.m. capensis is identical to the gene arrangement found in other A. mellifera mitogenomes and it provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of members of the genus Apis.

Project description:The mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera ruttneri consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, an AT-rich control region, and was 16,577 bp long. The phylogenetic analyses suggested that A. m. ruttneri was closely related to two North African subspecies: A. m. sahariensis and A. m. intermissa.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis nuluensis Tingek, an Asian honey bee (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis nuluensis Tingek was sequenced. The mitochondrial genome was 15,843 bp in length, with 37 classical eukaryotic mitochondrial genes and an A + T-rich region. Gene directions and arrangements were similar to those of other Apis mitogenomes. Most genes initiate with ATT (though ATG and ATC also were used) and all genes terminated with TAA. Nine genes were encoded on the light strand while four were encoded on the heavy strand. All 22 tRNA genes have a typical cloverleaf structure. The most likely phylogenetic tree showed A. nuluensis clustering with A. cerana. The complete mitogenome of A. nuluensis completes the sequencing of all mitogenomes of the currently accepted species of Apis.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera meda (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of the western honey bee subspecies Apis mellifera meda 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 Apis 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.
