The honeybee genome sequencing consortium made up of 90 institutes reported the genome sequence of the honeybee, Apis melliferaon Nature 443, 931-949 (26 October 2006).
From Japan, RIKEN GSC and others were associated with the consortium.
Honeybee EST entries submitted from RIKEN GSC were distributed from DDBJ (See previous report).
