About Honeybee Ensembl
Bzzz, bzz! This site presents an annotation of release 1.1 of the honeybee genome assembly [more]. The honeybee genome sequence was determined by whole genome shotgun at the Human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor College of Medicine.

The data comprises:

o Repeats and low complexity sequence - which have been identified with RepeatMasker (using the Drosophila melanogaster repeat library) and Dust.

o Ab initio gene predictions - which have been generated with Genscan.

o Blast features - showing similarities to entries in Swall from a sensitive search. There are also similarities to the the Drosophila melanogaster proteins and proteins from Anopheles gambiae (est) gene predictions.

o Gene predictions - generated from a combination of evidence sources: honeybee-specific peptides, Drosophila melanogaster-specific peptides, Anopheles gambiae (est) gene predictions, honeybee-specific ESTs and UNIPROT. This set is incomplete due to a lack of honeybee-specific evidence.
