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.

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 genome of the globally widespread and invasive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) is proposed and a novel probabilistic mechanism is proposed to derive the “spatially aggregating immune defences” of this ant.
