Fisher's exact test and w2-test were employed to estimate whether a list of edited genes was enriched in a specific GO category when compared with background genes68. All expressed genes, which we defined as genes with RPKM 41 in at least one of the nine sequenced samples, were used as...
For example, in both queen and worker larvae, genes encoding the antimicrobial peptides Defensin and Apidaecin belong to the most highly expressed category, whereas in males these peptides are expressed at extremely low levels. In the social context it is conceivable that drone larvae are partly...
