Published 10, August 2020

After publication, we noticed minor typographical errors that were missed during proofing in the captions of Figures 3 and 4d and Figure 1 Supplementary figures 2, 3 and 4 as well as Results and Methods. All of these errors emerged due to text re-arrangements in the later stages of review or during typesetting. None of the errors affect our results nor our interpretations.

Original caption of Figure 3:

Values of PB below 0.5 therefore indicate higher expression in SB/SB queens from single-queen colonies; values above 0.5 indicate higher expression in SB/Sb queens from multiple-queen colonies. Values of PMQ above 0.5 indicate allelic bias towards SB; values below 0.5 indicate bias towards Sb.

Corrected caption of Figure 3:

Values of PMQ below 0.5 therefore indicate higher expression in SB/SB queens from single-queen colonies; values above 0.5 indicate higher expression in SB/Sb queens from multiple-queen colonies. Values of PB above 0.5 indicate allelic bias towards SB; values below 0.5 indicate bias towards Sb.

Original caption of Figure 4d:

...the genes with higher expression of the Sb allele (x > 0) tend to be more highly expressed in queens from multiple-queen colonies (y < 0)...

Corrected caption of Figure 4d:

...the genes with higher expression of the Sb allele (y < 0) tend to be more highly expressed in queens from multiple-queen colonies (x > 0)...

Original caption of Figure 1 Figure supplements 2, 3 and 4

Differences in allele-specific expression between variants (x axis) for all genes in the supergene with enough expression information (y axis). Significant expression differences (BH adjusted p<0.05 from Wald test in DESeq2) are in green and the RefSeq ID of the significant gene is outlined in the y axis.
