Abstract
The black dwarf honey bee, Apis andreniformis, is indispensable in pollinating tropical cash crops in Southeast Asian countries. It holds considerable ecological and economic importance, while its population is declining due to environmental disturbances and human intervention. Here, we report a high-continuity draft genome of A. andreniformis assembled from a combination of datasets including 30.02 Gb ultra-long Nanopore reads, 1.87 Gb PacBio Circular Consensus sequencing reads and 33.57 Gb short paired reads. The genome assembly is 219.86 Mb long consisting of 20 contigs with a contig N50 value of 14.01 Mb. A total of 10,135 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 89.76% were functionally annotated. BUSCO evaluation showed high genome completeness with 98.49% of the core Hymenoptera genes being covered. The publication of this genome will facilitate future research on honey bees and also help to provide new insight into adaptive evolution via comparative genomics.
期刊介绍：
Over the last 100 years, the Journal of Heredity has established and maintained a tradition of scholarly excellence in the publication of genetics research. Virtually every major figure in the field has contributed to the journal.
Established in 1903, Journal of Heredity covers organismal genetics across a wide range of disciplines and taxa. Articles include such rapidly advancing fields as conservation genetics of endangered species, population structure and phylogeography, molecular evolution and speciation, molecular genetics of disease resistance in plants and animals, genetic biodiversity and relevant computer programs.
