    Complete mitochondrial genome of the Algerian honeybee, Apis mellifera intermissa (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
    (Taylor and Francis Online, 2016) Hu, Peng; Lu, Zhi-Xiang; Jamal Haddad, Nizar; Adjlane, Noureddine; Loucif-Ayad, Wahida; Yong-Zhi, Wang; Zhang, Ai-Ling
    In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Algerian honeybee,Apismellifera intermissa, is analyzed for the first time. The results show that this genome is 16,336 bpin length, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNAgenes, and 1 control region (D-loop). The overall base composition is A (43.2%), C (9.8%),G (5.6%), and T (41.4%), so the percentage of A and T (84.6%) is considerably higher than that ofG and C. All the genes are encoded on H-strand, except for four subunit genes (ND1,ND4,ND4L,andND5), two rRNA genes (12Sand16S rRNA), and eight tRNA genes. The completemitochondrial genome sequence reported here would be useful for further phylogeneticanalysis and conservation genetic studies inA.m.intermissa.
