Design of the honey bee experiment. Scheme for the design of the two-color microarray experiment with honey bees. The numbered arrows (1–22) represent two-color arrays, the arrowheads (tails) indicate Cy5 (Cy3) dye. Light (dark) boxes symbolize RNA from hygienic (control) bees. Pool size (1, 2, 4) and mixture (Roman numerals) are shown in each box. Tissues are abbreviated as MB (mushroom body), AL (antennal lobe), and ANT (Antennae). Boxes in the same column share the same biological effect, indicated as pool compositions 1 to 6
