title: Long amplicon sequencing of the major royal jelly protein gene cluster of the honey bees
design: Long-amplicon sequencing of overlapping PCR products; each amplicon covers approximately two adjacent mrjp genes; one diploid worker per species: Apis mellifera (Germany, Halle): six amplicons (size range: 9-14 kbp); Apis florea (Vietnam; Dien Bien): six amplicons (size range: 8-10 kbp); Apis dorsata (Philippines, Manaol): seven amplicons (size range: 10-12 kbp); all amplicons were pooled in equimolar amounts
