title: DArT-Seq of Apis cerana: adult male
design: DArT-Seq was performed using the DArT-Seq Platform (DArT PL, Canberra, NSW, Australia) according to the manufacturer's protocol (https://www.diversityarrays.com/). Briefly, DNA from whole drones was extracted using the phenol/chloroform method. Reduced representation libraries were generated from this DNA at DArT using Pstl-Msel restriction enzyme adaptors, followed by sequencing on Illumina HiSeq2500.
