Intragenomic conflict associated with extreme phenotypic plasticity in queen-worker caste determination in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
These findings suggest that parent-of-origin intragenomic conflict may influence phenotypic plasticity and may be associated with histone post-translational modifications, suggesting a "noncanonical" genomic imprinting-like system in social insects.
