>The Global Ant Genomics Consortium (http://antgenomics.dk/ <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__antgenomics.dk_&d=DwMGaQ&c=ZQs-KZ8oxEw0p81sqgiaRA&r=MJ5_WYLtvpMpbuzmVWTUfJs_PieFPAzSvf9flWCy2dn5Q_7E3474TMYMpLZFOvKv&m=7jXoXry-GMRq71Qoko-CEvIisGhcJPlm01VAX63UvVU&s=bXqytsMRdf2mqJwe5lbleuqDsqZbaHKXgz8PSFUkodM&e=>) aims to sequence high quality reference genomes for ca. 200 ant species covering the major diversity of Formicidae family. We expect to finish the first 100 genomes by 1st May 2020 and will start organizing the first pilot comparative genomics analyses. All the genomes have been assembled with PacBio long reads and HiC sequencing, thus will be in near chromosome level. This project will perform the comparative genomics analyses with the first 100 ant genomes to reconstruct ant phylogeny and to reveal the genomic changes associated with the evolution of ant social structure, behavior, and lineage-specialized adaptation.
