Establishing standards for genome wide association studies in eusocial insects through a case study in honey bees.

Abstract excerpt

As eusocial insects enter the post-genomic era, the availability of reference genomes and genomic datasets have facilitated Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) for traits measured on whole colonies. Several GWAS have been completed for traits like foraging and colony nesting behavior. However, no studies have addressed the specific challenges of applying GWAS to eusocial species. Eusocial species, such as...
