Hi all
This is an example of a gene = a protein, a classic example of a "gene."
> GB45239 (LOC100576557) located on Chromosome 11 that encodes a protein putatively involved in chromosomal segregation. The gene GB45239 is expressed in the honey bee ovaries where it is down-regulated in thelytokous bees, possibly as a result of polymorphisms in the promoter region found upstream of this gene. Yagound et al. (2020) showed that GB45239 consistently co-segregated with thelytoky and was absent from the genomes of all other honey bee subspecies they sequenced, thus concluding that this must be the gene responsible for the thelytoky syndrome in A. m. capensis.
