Identification of a dsx ortholog from A. rosae. Photographs of a last-instar larva (a) and adult male (b) of Athalia rosae. Scale bars indicate 2 mm. A tblastn search of the NCBI database was performed, specifying an Arosae dataset, using the full amino acid sequence of DSX in Apis mellifera (AmDSX) as a query sequence. Distribution of six blast hits on the query sequence is described. One predicted gene (NCBI accession number XM_012406840.1) showed significant similarities to female-specific AmDSX isoform, AmDSXF1 (c) and male-specific AmDSX isoform, AmDSXM (d)
