Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff-tailed bumblebees in Asia

The paper analyzes genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff-tailed bumblebees in Asia and Europe, identifying genetic markers associated with environmental adaptation.

Pan-genome analysis highlights the role of structural variation in the evolution and environmental adaptation of Asian honeybees

This study constructs the first pan-genome of Asian honeybees using long-read sequencing and identifies structural variations linked to environmental adaptation.

Genome-wide identification of accessible chromatin regions in bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) by ATAC-seq

This study identifies accessible chromatin regions in bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) using ATAC-seq across four developmental stages, providing resources for regulatory element annotation.

Genus-wide characterization of bumblebee genomes reveals variation associated with key ecological and behavioral traits of pollinators

The paper characterizes bumblebee genomes across 17 species to identify genetic variation linked to ecological and behavioral traits, revealing insights into genome structure, evolution, and adaptation.

Tandem repeats contribute to coding sequence variation in bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

This study identifies tandem repeats in bumblebee genomes and shows they contribute to coding sequence variation and protein length differences between species.
