Apis mellifera Y maze-based visual learning and memory DGE project. Apis mellifera ligustica

We analyzed the gene expression difference following Y maze-based visual learning in the A. mellifera using a tag-based digital gene expression (DGE) method. We obtained about 5.68 and 5.94 million clean tags from the trained group and untrained group, respectively. And detected 388 differentially expressed genes between these two samples, with 45 genes up-regulated and 343 genes down-regulated in trained group compared to the untrained group.
