Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship among the western and the Asian honey bees based on two mitochondrial gene segments (COI and ND5).

ABSTRACT: The Asian honey bee species i.e., Apis cerana (the eastern honey bee), A. dorsata (the giant honey bee), and the western or European honey bee (A. mellifera) collected from Pakistan were studied using partial sequences from two mitochondrial genes (i) the Cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) and (ii) the mitochondrially encoded NADH dehydrogenase 5 (ND5) and then compared with other honey bees sequences (already submitted from different countries around the globe) obtained after the national center for biotechnology information (NCBI). DNA sequences were analyzed employing molecular evolutionary genetics analysis and Kimura 2-parameter model, neighbor-joining method was applied to investigate phylogenetic relationships, and DNA sequence polymorphism was applied to measu
