ABSTRACT: Raw reads of UCE targeted enrichment sequence data for several species of small carpenter bees (Hymenoptera:Apidae:Xylocopinae:Ceratina) Raw sequence reads
Project description:Using a combination of Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) and RNA Sequencning (RNA-seq) we explored the effect that the loss of maternal care has on newly eclosed female offspring in the subsocial carpenter bee Ceratina calcarata.
Project description:Bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) are important pollinating insects that play pivotal roles in crop production and natural ecosystem services. To achieve a comprehensive profile of accessible chromatin regions and provide clues for all possible regulatory elements in the bumblebee genome, we did ATAC-seq for Bombus terrestris samples derived from its four developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult, respectively. The sequencing reads of ATAC-seq were mapped to B. terrestris reference genome, and its accessible chromatin regions were identified and characterized using bioinformatic methods. Our study will provide important resources not only for uncovering regulatory elements in the bumblebee genome, but also for expanding our understanding of bumblebee biology.
