Completing genome of rusty patched bumble bee

A detailed, high-resolution map of the rusty patched bumble bee’s genome has been released by USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) scientists, offering new approaches for bringing the native pollinator back from the danger of extinction. Putting together the rusty patched bumble bee genome is part of the Beenome 100 project, a first-of-its-kind effort to create a library of high-quality, highly detailed genome maps of 100 or more diverse bee species found in the United States. Beenome 100 is a collaborative undertaking of ARS and the University of Illinois. The expectation is that this library will help researchers answer the big questions about bees such as what genetic differences make a bee species more vulnerable to climate change or whether a bee species is likely to be more susceptible to a pesticide. In 2017, rusty patched bumble bees were listed as “endangered." With the detailed information researchers now have with this genome, we have an opportunity to find a whole different approach to strengthening rusty patched bumble bee populations.
