Gene expression analysis following olfactory learning in Apis mellifera
We analyzed the gene expression difference following proboscis extension response-based olfactory learning in the A. mellifera using a tag-based digital gene expression (DGE) method. We obtained about 5.71 and 5.65 million clean tags from the trained group and untrained group, respectively. And detected 259 differentially expressed genes between these two samples, with 30 genes up-regulated and 229 genes down-regulated in trained group compared to the untrained group.
