mRNA-Seq of brain tissue from honeybee (Apis mellifera) drones (male), workers (female) and queens (female).
Transcriptional profiling of brain tissue of was performed by RNA-SEQ in workers, queens and males. The sex and caste specific expressed and spliced genes were examined comparing drone, worker and queen honeybees. Overall design: Examination of mRNA profiles in heads of male, worker and queen honeybees pupae were compared.
