The small hive beetle is a widespread parasite of honey bee colonies. Originally from southern Africa, this beetle has followed honey bees to several continents and is a nuisance pest throughout much of its introduced range. Genomic and transcriptomic data can lead to basic insights into beetle biology, and to potential methods of control for this parasite.
Genome update. Previously, the i5k Workspace@NAL hosted Aethina tumida genome assembly Atum_1.0 (GCF_001937115.1) and NCBI Aethina tumida Annotation Release 100. The assembly and annotations have been updated to the most recent assembly, GCF_024364675.1, and annotations, NCBI Aethina tumida Annotation Release 101.
This genome project is part of the Ag100Pest project (http://i5k.github.io/ag100pest).
