Insights from Melipona bicolor hybrid genome assembly: a stingless bee genome with chromosome-level scaffold

Abstract Background The highly eusocial stingless bees are crucial pollinators of native and agricultural ecosystems. Nevertheless, genomic studies within this bee tribe remain scarce. We present the genome assembly of the stingless bee Melipona bicolo r. This bee is a remarkable exception to the ty...
