| Description: |
Researchers using latest DNA sequencing technology to understand the genomics of agricultural ant societies. This project is one of the first attempts to use genomics to understand a complex interacting system, rather than a single organism. Researchers are seeking to understand how these ants evolved to process huge amounts of organic material. Understanding this could help humans develop better methods to process waste materials, produce bio-fuels, and improve agricultural methods." [Source: EurekaAlert]
