Moreau The advent of next generation sequencing techniques has provided the ant community with the unique opportunity to open the black box of "the" ant socio-genome but at the same time swamped the community with an amount of data that is unprecedented in the history of social insect research (Bonasio & al. 2010, Nygaard & al. 2011, Smith & al. 2011a, b, Suen & al. 2011, Wurm & al. 2011). How will we analyze the onslaught of data and go beyond correlative research? How many more ant genomes do we need… Publisher: The Austrian Society of Entomofaunistics ISSN: Print: 1994-4136 - Online: 1997-3500
