Sex determination: balancing selection in the honey bee.

Current biology : CB - 27 Jul 2004

Charlesworth Deborah

Abstract excerpt

Sequences of alleles of the honey bee's primary sex-determining gene have extremely high diversity, with many amino acid variants, suggesting that different alleles of this gene have been maintained in populations for very long evolutionary times.
