Stingless Bee’s Genome Sequenced – Technology Networks
Researchers have sequenced the genome of a stingless bee species, providing insight into their evolution.
A consortium of researchers funded by Brazils National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and FAPESP has sequenced the genome of Frieseomelitta varia, a native stingless bee (common name: marmelada). The feat extends scientists understanding of the evolution of stingless bees (Meliponini) and paves the way for the breeding of commercially useful species. The findings are published in BMC Genomics.We chose a species to test our ability to sequence a whole genome in a pilo…
