Dataset S1 provides Cuffdiff analysis of differential gene expression in the midguts of honey bees fed with p-coumaric acid-containing sugar candy (CoA) vs “bee candy” (CK); Dataset S2 provides DESeq analysis of differential gene expression in the midguts of honey bees fed with p-coumaric acid-containing sugar candy (CoA) vs “bee candy” (CK); Dataset S3 provides edgeR analysis of differential gene expression in the midguts of honey bees fed with p-coumaric acid-containing sugar candy (CoA) vs “bee candy” (CK). See Fig. S2 for depiction of intersecting sets of genes up-regulated by p-coumaric acid as determined by RNA-seq of genes and identified by all three analytical methods.
