Unraveling sex-specific transcript dynamics: insights from embryonic development of Apis cerana worker and drone bees
In this study, we use long-read sequencing (PacBio Iso-Seq) and short-read sequencing (Illumina RNA-Seq) to investigate the worker and drone embryos gene number and expression differences of honeybee, A. cerana across five developmental points (12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 hours).
