The paper presents a full-length transcriptome dataset of normal and Nosema ceranae-challenged midgut tissues of eastern honeybee workers using Nanopore long-read sequencing.

MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq data of mycelium and spore of Ascosphaera apis, a widespread bee fungal pathogen

The paper presents MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq data from mycelium and spores of Ascosphaera apis to study m6A modification patterns and their relationship with transcript levels.

Whole transcriptome data of uninfected and Nosema ceranae-infected midguts of eastern honeybee workers

The paper presents RNA-seq data from uninfected and Nosema ceranae-infected midguts of eastern honeybees to study host-parasite interactions and gene expression changes.

Long-read transcriptome data of bee fungal parasite, Nosema ceranae

The paper generates long-read transcriptome data for Nosema ceranae using Nanopore sequencing to improve its transcriptome quality.

A MALDI-MS biotyping-like method to address honey bee health status through computational modelling

The paper introduces a computational model based on MALDI-MS data to monitor honey bee health by identifying molecular signatures of infection.

Divergent selection following speciation in two ectoparasitic honey bee mites

The paper examines the evolutionary divergence of two honey bee mite species, identifying gene families under divergent selection and suggesting species-specific strategies for parasite control.

Comparative identification of microRNAs in Apis cerana cerana workers'midguts responding to Nosema ceranae invasion

This study identifies miRNAs in A. cerana cerana workers' midguts responding to N. ceranae infection, revealing differentially expressed miRNAs and their potential roles in immune responses.

Genome-wide identification of long non-coding RNAs and their regulatory networks involved in Apis mellifera ligustica response to Nosema ceranae infection

The paper identifies lncRNAs and their regulatory networks in honeybees responding to Nosema ceranae infection using RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.

Decoupling the effects of nutrition, age and behavioral caste on honey bee physiology and immunity

This study examines how nutrition, age, and behavioral caste affect honey bee physiology and immunity, finding that pollen restriction leads to precocious foraging and increased viral susceptibility.

Different energetic diets affect the maintenance of Apis mellifera L. colonies during off-season

This study evaluates different energetic diets for honey bee colonies during the off-season, finding that sugar syrup best supports colony development and physiological health.

Investigating the viral ecology of global bee communities with high-throughput metagenomics

The paper develops a novel pipeline for viral metagenomics in bees, identifying 127 novel viruses across multiple species and regions.

Characterisation of the UK honey bee (Apis mellifera) metagenome.

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

A Varroa Destructor Protein Atlas Reveals Molecular Underpinnings Of Developmental Transitions And Sexual Differentiation

This paper presents a Varroa destructor protein atlas across developmental stages and sexes, identifying differentially expressed proteins and sexually regulated genes, along with novel protein-coding regions.

Sublethal effects of the neonicotinoid insecticide thiamethoxam on the transcriptome of the honeybee (Apis mellifera)

This study examines the transcriptome changes in honeybees exposed to sublethal doses of thiamethoxam, identifying 609 differentially expressed genes and their functional pathways.
