Ants with complex societies have fascinated scientists for centuries. Comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses across ant species and castes have revealed important insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying ant caste differentiation. However, most current ant genomes and transcriptomes are highly fragmented and incomplete, which hinders our understanding of the molecular basis for complex ant societies.

法老蚁 Monomorium pharaonis 的高质量染色体水平基因组组装和全长转录组分析

几个世纪以来，具有复杂社会的蚂蚁一直让科学家着迷。跨蚂蚁物种和种姓的比较基因组和转录组分析揭示了对蚂蚁种姓分化的分子机制的重要见解。然而，目前大多数蚂蚁基因组和转录组高度分散且不完整，这阻碍了我们对复杂蚂蚁社会的分子基础的理解。
