Analysis of <i>Complementary Sex-Determiner</i> (<i>csd</i>) Allele Diversity in Different Honeybee Subspecies from Italy Based on NGS Data

Sexual regulation in <i>Apis mellifera</i> is controlled by the <i>complementary sex-determiner (csd)</i> gene: females (queens and workers) are heterozygous at this locus and males (drones) are hemizygous. When homozygous diploid drones develop, they are eaten by worker bees...
