Abstract excerpt
In comparison with the numerous Drosophila species and the mouse, the Gpdh gene in the honey bee Apis mellifera lacks most introns. This prevents the gene from producing different GPDH isoforms by alternative splicing, which occurs in Drosophila melanogaster. The sequences of the cDNA and genomic Gpdh of A. mellifera are described and show that at the amino acid level they share 84% similarity and 71% identity...
