Draft genome sequence of the Algerian bee Apis mellifera intermissa
نویسندگان
چکیده
Apis mellifera intermissa is the native honeybee subspecies of Algeria. A. m. intermissa occurs in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, between the Atlas and the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. This bee is very important due to its high ability to adapt to great variations in climatic conditions and due to its preferable cleaning behavior. Here we report the draft genome sequence of this honey bee, its Whole Genome Shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession JSUV00000000. The 240-Mb genome is being annotated and analyzed. Comparison with the genome of other Apis mellifera sub-species promises to yield insights into the evolution of adaptations to high temperature and resistance to Varroa parasite infestation.

Draft Genome Sequences of Saccharibacter sp. Strains 3.A.1 and M18 Isolated from Honey and a Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Stomach
The annotated draft genome sequences of two recent Saccharibacter sp. strains isolated from honey and a honey bee stomach in 2014 are reported here. Currently, two Saccharibacter whole-genome sequences are available in databases; thus, the sequences of our new isolates will contribute to a better understanding of Saccharibacter genomes.

Objectives: Royal jelly (RJ), a secretion of both the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of nurse workers, is believed to play a central role in honeybee queen development. Important component of royal jelly are proteins which form about 50% of the dry mass of RJ. Major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs) are the dominant proteinaceous component of royal jelly and constitute about 82-90% of total pr...

متن کاملComplete Genome of Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus Strain SLO/M92/2010, Detected from Apis mellifera carnica
Chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) causes an infectious and contagious disease of adult honeybees. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of CBPV strain SLO/M92/2010. This is the first published complete genome of CBPV in Apis mellifera carnica, which provides important additional knowledge about the divergence of the CBPV genome.
متن کاملGenomic analysis in the sting-2 quantitative trait locus for defensive behavior in the honey bee, Apis mellifera.
We have sequenced an 81-kb genomic region from the honey bee, Apis mellifera, associated with a quantitative trait locus (QTL) sting-2 for aggressive behavior. This sequence represents the first extensive study of the honey-bee genome structure encompassing putative genes in a QTL for a behavioral trait. Expression of 13 putative genes, as well as two transcripts that were present in a honey-be...
