Table 1 Summary of Gene Ontology Analysis of differentially expressed gene lists. The analysis is based on D. melanogaster orthologs matching honey bee genes that were significantly differentially expressed between treatment groups. Only GO terms and KEGG pathways that were significantly overrepresented (medium stringency, P-value < 0.05) are shown in the table. Benjamini corrections for multiple testing are provided alongside corresponding P-values

From: RNA-sequencing elucidates the regulation of behavioural transitions associated with the mating process in honey bee queens
