The document summarizes the genomic impact of 100 million years of social evolution in seven ant species based on the publication of their genome sequences. It finds that while ants share a single origin of eusociality, there has been independent evolution of different social structures. Comparing the ant genomes to each other and other social/solitary insects provides an opportunity to study the genetic basis of diverse social behaviors and adaptive complex systems. The seven ant genomes represent a range of colony life cycles and division of labor strategies that have implications for genome composition and regulation of social traits.
