Overview of experimental design and sequencing. RNA-seq libraries were generated from nectar and pollen foragers exposed to three pheromone treatments. Three pooled pollen forager samples and three pooled nectar forager samples were collected for each pheromone treatment. Each bee diagram represents a sample, though two brains were used for each sample. Resulting numbers of reads per sample and percentages of those reads that mapped to the honey bee genome are presented in a table to the right
