Bumble bees are ecologically and economically important insect pollinators. Three abundant and widespread species in western North America, , , and , have been the focus of substantial research relating to diverse aspects of bumble bee ecology and evolutionary biology. We present genome assemblies for each of the three species using hybrid assembly of Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequences. All three assemblies are of high quality with large N50s (> 2.2 Mb), BUSCO scores indicating > 98% complete genes, and annotations producing 13,325 - 13,687 genes, comparing favorably with other bee genomes. Analysis of synteny against the most complete bumble bee genome, , reveals a high degree of collinearity. These genomes should provide a valuable resource for addressing questions relating to functional genomics and evolutionary biology in these species.
熊蜂是具有重要生态和经济意义的昆虫传粉者。北美西部三种数量丰富且分布广泛的物种,即[此处原文缺失物种名称]、[此处原文缺失物种名称]和[此处原文缺失物种名称],一直是与熊蜂生态学和进化生物学各个方面相关的大量研究的重点。我们使用Illumina和Oxford Nanopore Technologies序列的混合组装方法,为这三个物种分别提供了基因组组装。所有这三个组装的质量都很高,N50值很大(> 2.2 Mb),BUSCO评分表明完整基因超过98%,注释产生13325 - 13687个基因,与其他蜜蜂基因组相比具有优势。与最完整的熊蜂基因组[此处原文缺失基因组名称]进行的共线性分析显示出高度的共线性。这些基因组应为解决与这些物种的功能基因组学和进化生物学相关的问题提供宝贵资源。
