The complete mitochondrial genome of the cavity-nesting honeybee, Apis koschevnikovi (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae).

ABSTRACT: In this study, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the cavity-nesting honeybee, A. koschevnikovi. The mitochondrial genome of A. koschevnikovi was observed to be a circular molecule of 15,278?bp and was similar to that of the other cavity-nesting honeybee species. The average AT content in the A. koschevnikovi mitochondrial genome was 84%. It was predicted to contain 13 protein-coding, 24 tRNA and two rRNA genes, along with one A?+?T-rich control region, besides three tRNA-Met repeats.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Asiatic cavity-nesting honeybee Apis cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae).

Project description:In the present study, we determined the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Apis cerana, the Asiatic cavity-nesting honeybee. We present here an analysis of features of its gene content and genome organization in comparison with Apis mellifera to assess the variation within the genus Apis and among main groups of Hymenoptera. The size of the entire mt genome of A. cerana is 15,895 bp, containing 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and one control region. These genes are transcribed from both strands and have a nucleotide composition high in A and T. The contents of A+T of the complete genomes are 83.96% for A. cerana. The AT bias had a significant effect on both the codon usage pattern and amino acid composition of proteins. There are a total of 3672 codons in all 13 protein-coding genes, excluding termination codons. The most frequently used amino acid is Leu (15.52%), followed by Ile (12.85%), Phe (10.10%), Ser (9.15%) and Met (8.96%). Intergenic regions in the mt genome of A. cerana are 705 bp in total. The order and orientation of the gene arrangement pattern is identical to that of A. mellifera, except for the position of the tRNA-Ser(AGN) gene. Phylogenetic analyses using concatenated amino acid sequences of 13 protein-coding genes, with three different computational algorithms (NJ, MP and ML), all revealed two distinct groups with high statistical support, indicating that A. cerana and A. mellifera are two separate species, consistent with results of previous morphological and molecular studies. The complete mtDNA sequence of A. cerana provides additional genetic markers for studying population genetics, systematics and phylogeographics of honeybees.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Japanese honeybee, Apis cerana japonica (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae).

Project description:In this study, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the Japanese honeybee Apis cerana japonica. The mitochondrial genome of A. c. japonica is a circular molecule of 15?917?bp and is similar to that of A. c. cerana. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one A?+?T-rich control region. All protein-coding genes are initiated by ATT and ATG codons and are terminated by the typical stop codon TAA or TAG, except for the start codon of ATP8 which ends with C. All tRNA genes typically form a cloverleaf secondary structure, except for tRNA-Ser (AGN).

The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic placement of Apis nigrocincta Smith (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae), an Asian, cavity-nesting honey bee.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis nigrocincta was sequenced. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 15,855?bp, including 37 classical eukaryotic mitochondrial regions and an A?+?T-rich region. Gene directions and arrangements are similar to those of other Apis mitogenomes. Most genes initiated with ATT, though ATG and ATA were also used as start codons. Twelve of 13 protein-coding genes terminated with TAA, though ND2 terminated with TAG. Four PCG genes, eight tRNAs and both rRNAs were encoded on the heavy strand while all others were encoded on the light strand (9 PCGs and 14 tRNAs). Overall, the GC content composed 15.6% of the mitogenome. All of the 22 tRNA genes, ranging from 66 to 114?bp, have a typical cloverleaf structure. A phylogenetic tree showed that A. nigrocincta clustered closest to A. cerana. The complete mitogenome of A. nigrocincta provides essential information on the biogeography and evolution of this Asian honey bee species.

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. Four genes are encoded on the heavy and nine on the light strands, respectively. All of the 22 tRNA genes, ranging from 66 to 78?bp, have a typical cloverleaf structure.

The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the Arabian Honeybee Apis mellifera jemenitica (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae) from Saudi Arabia.

Project description:Fourteen mitochondrial genomes from workers of the Arabian Honeybee Apis mellifera jemenitica were determined. Genomes range from 16,352 to 16,445 bp. Each consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and one control region. The mitogenome sequences revealed 753 Variable sites in total, distributed within protein-coding loci (199), ribosomal RNAs genes (117), transfere RNAs genes (48), and non-coding AT-rich region's (389). Phylogenetic analysis with Neighbor-Joining method suggested three evolutionary groups for these mitogenomes, closely related to A. m. jemenitica, A. m. lamarckii, A. m. syriaca, and A. m. scutellata.

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 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.
