Additional file 1:

List of Apis mellifera genes with significantly different expression profiles in Varroa-parasitized and non-parasitized bees (A); in two types of bee genotypes (either sensitive or tolerant to Varroa) (B). The EST ID, the official honey bee gene ID, the gene name of the best symbol of Drosophila melanogaster (based on Flybase information) and the fold change in gene expression, are indicated for both up-regulated and down-regulated transcripts. Unassigned genes are indicated by *.

Additional file 2:

Enrichment analysis on genes that show significant differences in bees parasitized by Varroa (A) and between two different bee genotypes (tolerant and sensitive to Varroa) (B). GO ID and GO term refer respectively to Gene Ontology ID and the associated term.
