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 mitogenome of A.m. meda provides information on the biogeography and evolution of A. mellifera subspecies.

Project description: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 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 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 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 mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera simensis (Hymenoptera: Apidae), an Ethiopian honey bee.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera simensis was 16,523 bp long. The 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs resembled other Apis mitogenomes. The location of this Apis subspecies in our phylogenetic tree supported the hypothesis that this subspecies is distinct, and is most closely related to A. m. scutellata and A. m. monticola.
