Ant genomes

Ant genomes refer to the complete set of genetic information found in ants, which helps scientists understand their biology, behavior, and evolution. Each ant species has a unique genome that contains the instructions for traits, such as how they communicate, build nests, or care for their young. Studying these genomes can reveal how ants adapt to their environments and interact within their colonies. This research also sheds light on topics like social behavior, division of labor, and even how they deal with diseases, contributing to our broader understanding of ecosystems and biodiversity.
