Genome-wide DNA methylation reveals epigenetic inheritance in honeybee (Apis mellifera)

DNA methylation data of E, L1,L2 and L3 queens and their drones (G2DE, G2DL1, G2DL2 and G2DL3). G1E were queens reared from eggs (E) transferred to queen cells on the 2nd day after laying in generation 1 (G1). G1L1 were queens reared from one-day old larvae (L1) transferred to queen cells on the 4th day after laying. G1L2 were queens reared from two-day old larvae (L2) transferred to queen cells on the 5th day after laying. G1L3 were queens reared from three-day old larvae (L3) transferred to queen cells on the 6th day after laying. G2DE, G2DL1, G2DL2 and G2DL3 were reared by the eggs laid by G1E, G1L1, G1L2 and G1L3 queen correspondingly.
