就地理分布和物种数量而言，蚂蚁（膜翅目、蚁科）代表了最成功的真社会类群之一。去年发布的七个蚂蚁基因组是社会和蚂蚁基因组学的巨大飞跃。蚂蚁社会组织的多样性使它们成为研究社会系统进化的优秀模式生物。将蚂蚁的基因组与蜜蜂（独立于蚂蚁进化出真社会性的谱系）和独居昆虫的基因组进行比较表明，群居昆虫和独居昆虫以及蚂蚁物种之间在基因组组织的关键方面存在显着差异。总而言之，这七个蚂蚁基因组为了解社会物种的遗传基础和调控以及一般的适应性复杂系统开辟了令人兴奋的新研究途径和机会。
Ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) represent one of the most successful eusocial taxa in terms of both their geographic distribution and species number. The publication of seven ant genomes within the past year was a quantum leap for socio- and ant genomics. The diversity of social organization in ants makes them excellent model organisms to study the evolution of social systems. Comparing the ant genomes with those of the honeybee, a lineage that evolved eusociality independently from ants, and solitary insects suggests that there are significant differences in key aspects of genome organization between social and solitary insects, as well as among ant species. Altogether, these seven ant genomes open exciting new research avenues and opportunities for understanding the genetic basis and regulation of social species, and adaptive complex systems in general.
