sequence information from the cytochrome b (cyt b) region in mitochondrial DNA from the
ant Tetraponera rufoniger. Compared with the cyt b genes from Apis mellifera, Drosophila
melanogaster, and D. yakuba, the overall A+ T content (A+ T%) of that of T. rufoniger is lower
(69.9% vs 80.7%, 74.2%, and 73.9%, respectively) than those of the other three. The codon
usage in the cyt b gene of T. rufoniger is biased although not as much as in A. mellifera, D …
