Peptide biomarkers used for the selective breeding of a complex polygenic trait in honey bees

Abstract We present a novel way to select for highly polygenic traits. For millennia, humans have used observable phenotypes to selectively breed stronger or more productive livestock and crops. Selection on genotype, using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genome profiling, is also now app...
