Annotation of Am36L17. The Am36L17 BAC clone was assembled into a single sequence with a GC content of ∼40%. All putative transcripts determined by gene-prediction methods (orange) are named numerically (36L17 1-15); 36L17.EST1 and 36L17.EST2 (red) were identified by their presence in the honey-bee brain EST database. The genetic marker linked to aggressive behavior in honey bees and used to isolate this BAC clone is a11-.31. The microsatellite sequence is AME509514. The position of simple repeats and the 371-bp repeat are identified (black bars and triangles, respectively).
