About Honeybee Ensembl
Bzzz, bzz! This site presents an annotation of release 2.0 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 which have been identified with
- RepeatMasker using the Drosophila melanogaster repeat library
- RepeatMasker, with repeat consensi provided using an ab-initio analysis kindly performed by Damian Keefe of the EBI's ENCODE project using the RECON repeat-finding package
- Repeat sequences identified by the ab-initio analysis which were not found by the RepeatMasker's drosophila library

o Low complexity sequence identified with Dust.

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

o Blast features - showing similarities to entries in Uniprot from a sensitive search against the genome.

o Gene predictions - These are grouped by confidence, and generated from a combination of evidence sources: honeybee-specific peptides, homology to Uniprot, and honeybee-specific ESTs. Lower confidence predictions are generated with homology to Uniprot only.

Example Data Points
For this release we have chosen to display the data using Groups (or contigs).Use the BLAST and SSAHA buttons in the Entry Points section above to locate data, or enter the Group (e.g. Group6) and basepairs to jump to, or scaffold (e.g. Group6.9) and basepairs to jump to.

A few example data points :
o   Assembly fragment : Group1:4800000 - 5200000
o   Contig : Contig 3935
o   Gene : ENSAPMG00000003200
o   Gene : ENSAPMG00000005403
