  1. Functional clustering based on Gene Ontology of genes that show significant differences are indicated for bees parasitized by Varroa (A), and for Varroa-tolerant bees (B). Gene Ontology terms are non-exclusive. Expression patterns within these sets of genes are represented (number of genes that are significantly up- or down-regulated). Genes with unknown biological process or molecular function are in brackets.
