The mitochondrial genome of the Spanish honey bee, Apis mellifera iberiensis (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae), from Portugal
Abstract
The Spanish honey bee Apis mellifera iberiensis, had a mitochondrial genome of 16,560 bp. It consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and an AT-rich control region. The sample was from Portugal and its mitogenome resembled those of the African (A)-lineage honey bee subspecies. It was most closely related to other North African honey bees, namely A. m. sahariensis and A. m. intermissa.
