Abstract(s)
We assembled the mitogenome of Apis mellifera siciliana, which was previously identified as African by
the tRNA-leu-cox2 intergenic region. The mitogenome is 16,590 bp long. The gene content and
organization are identical to other A. mellifera mitogenomes, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22
transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed a close mitochondrial
relationship between A. m. siciliana and other African subspecies such as Apis mellifera sahariensis, Apis
mellifera intermissa, and Apis mellifera ruttneri.
