Threshold, E<1e-5. See Table S3 for all BLASTX matches with E≤1 for all 39 differentially expressed genes.

Excludes Ensembl Apis gene predictions. Accession numbers of best matches (TrEMBL, Swiss-Prot, or Ensembl databases) are shown in parentheses.

Expression ratios are based on averages for all Bb and BB workers in the 20 polygyne study colonies. Elevated expression in Bb workers relative to BB workers is highlighted with bold italics.

P-values from ANOVA calculations are averages for genes represented by more than one significantly differentially expressed clone on the microarray (10% FDR).

Assembled sequence is composite of separate contigs that were merged because they have >95% sequence identity.
