Data are from the following: Experiment 1, AHB vs. EHB (guards, soldiers, and foragers); Experiment 2, alarm pheromone induced; and Experiment 3, old vs. young bees. Expected, the number of genes expected to overlap in all three experiments by chance alone; RF, representation factor; I, individual genotype; C, colony genotype. The statistical significance of the overlap between two lists was determined using an exact hypergeometric test and an extended version of the hypergeometric test for the overlap between three lists (see SI Text).
