New genome sequences data of Japanese honey bee, Apis cerana japonica

In 2018, we reported the draft genome sequence of Japanese honey bee, Apis cerana japonica. Due to developments of sequencing device, sequencing costs have been dropped, and chromosome-level genome sequence of several insect species including A. cerana cerana are available in public databases. Thus, we updated the A. cerana japonica genome sequence by using new sequence data and the chromosome-level genome sequence of A. cerana cerana. Consequently, using updated sequence data, we search repetitive elements and Transposaple elements. Furthermore, we got gene set data and gene functional annotation data by using RNAseq data and systemic functional annotation program. These data will contribute to promote honey bee genome researches as well as genome researches. of other insect species.
