Project description:After collection, live honeybees were brought to geneOmbio Technologies Central Processing Laboratory under controlled room temperature (25.9C, 72% RH) until dissection was made. The honeybees selected for analysis were collected from Pune region (18°31′13″N 73°51′24″E) from the state of Maharashtra, India. These were identified as Apis cerena based on mitochondrial COI gene sequencing. Ten honeybees were anaesthetized on ice and immediately dissected for isolation of mandibular glands using sterile scalpel
Project description:Animal behavior is linked to the gene regulatory network (GRN) coordinating gene expression in the brain. Eusocial honeybees, with their natural behavioral plasticity, provide an excellent model for exploring the connection between brain activity and behavior. Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we analyze the expression patterns of brain cells associated with the behavioral maturation from nursing to foraging. Integrating spatial and cellular data uncovered cell-type and spatial heterogeneity in GRN organization.
