This study uses scRNA-seq to identify cell types and gene signatures in developing worker honey bees, providing a first single-cell atlas of honey bee development.

The paper identifies 701 genes associated with human mitotic phases through transcriptomics analysis, including 205 putative cell cycle genes and 53 uncharacterised ones, with some showing novel centrosomal localization or proliferation inhibition.

The paper develops a graph-based visualization method for RNA-Seq data to better understand transcript diversity and assembly issues.

The paper characterizes the metagenome of UK honey bee colonies, identifying microbial diversity and potential pathogens in their microbiota.
