Abstract - To study the function and expression of genes identified in the honeybee genome sequence, techniques for assaying gene expression need to be developed. We present a robust method for preparing honeybee embryos and ovaries for in-situ hybridisation. This protocol should prove useful for researchers wishing to use the genome sequence to study honeybee biology.


Key words: Apis mellifera / embryo / ovary / gene expression / in-situ hybridisation

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
