This study involved 102 whole-genome sequences from honey bee colonies from across Europe, sampled unde...

Why single snp analyses fail: epistatic structural effects in honey bee CYP336A1

Cytochrome P450 enzymes are central to pesticide metabolism and resistance, yet how these proteins diversify substrate specificity while maintaining catalytic function remains poorly understood. A genome-wide analysis of CYP336A1 (a nicotine-metabolizing P450) across 1467 Apis mellifera males from 25 countries spanning the Mediterranean, Middle East, Europe, and Cuba revealed an intricate haplotype architecture...
