Selection and validation of RT-qPCR reference genes for multi-tissue gene expression normalization in two honeybee subspecies across post-emergence developmental stages
Our findings provide validated reference genes for precise quantification of tissue-specific gene expression patterns during adult honeybee development. These reference genes facilitate identification of candidate genes associated with honeybee development, social behavior, and productivity traits.
