    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:4888-93. 2004
    ..Moreover, the first csd sequence data are a notable basis for the avoidance of diploid males in bee selection programs by allele-assisted breeding...

    M Beye
    Martin Luther Universitat Halle Wittenberg, Biozentrum, Institut fur Zoologie, Molekulare Okologie, Halle, Germany
    Insect Mol Biol 11:527-32. 2002
    ..This is the first report of targeted disruption of gene function in the honey bee, and the results prove that the chosen target gene is a functional ortholog to engrailed in Drosophila...
