TL;DR: The draft genome sequence of a particularly widespread and well-studied species, the invasive Argentine ant, is reported, which was accomplished using a combination of 454 and Illumina sequencing and community-based funding rather than federal grant support.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Gene networks involved in generating key differences between the queen and worker castes show signatures of increased methylation and suggest that ants and bees may have independently co-opted the same gene regulatory mechanisms for reproductive division of labor.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Following recent reports of genome sequences from other insects that engage in symbioses with beneficial microbes, the A. cephalotes genome provides new insights into the symbiotic lifestyle of this ant and advances the understanding of host–microbe symbioss.

TL;DR: The analyses of the Porphyra umbilicalis genome provide insights into how this macrophyte thrives in the stressful intertidal zone and into the basis for its nutritional value as human food and elucidate traits that inform the understanding of the biology of red algae as one of the few multicellular eukaryotic lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, two populations of an inbred ant that diverge in phenotype were sequenced to determine how variability is generated and reveal a tripartite interplay between transposable elements, life history and adaptation in an invasive species.
