News Finding: Catching the host transition in its early stages will allow researchers to continue to investigate the complex genetic details behind the shift and monitor infected European honeybees, Hunt said.
Paper Finding: Only the most significant hit for each predicted transcript was retained.
News Context: Andino and Hunt said the mites' leap to European honeybees likely occurred within the last decade. Catching the host transition in its early stages will allow researchers to continue to investigate the complex genetic details behind the shift and monitor infected European honeybees, Hunt said. "This happened once with one species of mite, and it looks like it's happening again.
Paper Context: Overall 95.6% of reads aligned to the reference indicating that almost all reads are represented in the assembly (Table 2 ). Only the most significant hit for each predicted transcript was retained. At the transcript level we found that 51,025
