Epigenetic modification of gene expression in honey bees by heterospecific gland secretions.
<h4>Background</h4>In the honey bee (Apis mellifera), queen and workers have different behavior and reproductive capacity despite possessing the same genome. The primary substance that leads to this differentiation is royal jelly (RJ), which contains a range of proteins, amino acids, vit...
