[Seven genes of mitochondrial genome enabling differentiation of honeybee subspecies Apis mellifera]
Abstract:
On the basis of comparative sequence analysis of 12 honeybee mitochondrial genes, seven genes enabling us to differentiate honeybees subspecies of the A, M, C, O evolutionary lineages were found. Applying comparative sequence analysis of ND2 gene mtDNA as an example on a statistically valid sample size, we showed a high level of differentiating ability of this gene and assumed that each of these seven genes probably can be used for differentiation of the subspecies within four evolutionary lineages.
