Abstract

The sequencing of the nucleotide sequences of the mrjp3 repetitive region (mrjp3 microsatellite locus) in Siberian honeybees was carried out. A high similarity of the studied nucleotide sequences (≥99% identity) with reference sequences was observed, which indicates a high conservation of the mrjp3 repetitive region in different Apis mellifera subspecies.
