Genetic Diversity of Apis spp. in Thailand Inferred from 28S rRNA Nuclear and Cytochrome b Mitochondrial Gene Sequences

Table 4

Estimated sequence divergence in the 28S rRNA and cytb sequence pairs between species. The pairwise comparison uses 612 and 383 bp of 28SrRNA and cytb sequence, respectively.
