Population-wide modelling reveals prospects of marker-assisted selection for parasitic mite resistance in honey bees

Abstract In 2019, a joint eight-variant model was published in which eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in seven Apis mellifera genes were associated with Varroa destructor drone brood resistance (DBR, i.e. mite non-reproduction in drone brood). As this model was derived from only one Darw...
