Abstract

Carpenter ants in the genus Camponotus are large, conspicuous ants that are abundant and ecologically influential in many terrestrial ecosystems. The bicolored carpenter ant, Camponotus vicinus Mayr, is distributed across a wide range of elevations and latitudes in western North America, where it is a prominent scavenger and predator. Here, we present a high-quality genome assembly of C. vicinus from a sample collected in Sonoma County, California, near the type locality of the species. This genome assembly consists of 38 scaffolds spanning 302.74 Mb, with contig N50 of 15.9 Mb, scaffold N50 of 19.9 Mb, and BUSCO completeness of 99.2%. This genome sequence will be a valuable resource for exploring the evolutionary ecology of C. vicinus and carpenter ants generally. It also provides an important tool for clarifying cryptic diversity within the C. vicinus species complex, a genetically diverse set of populations, some of which are quite localized and of conservation interest.

双色木匠蚁的参考基因组。

Camponotus属的木匠蚁是大型、显眼的蚂蚁，在许多陆地生态系统中数量丰富，对生态有影响。双色木匠蚁C.vicinus Mayr分布在北美洲西部的广泛海拔和纬度地区，是那里一种著名的食腐动物和捕食者。在这里，我们展示了在加利福尼亚州索诺马县采集的一个样本中的C.vicinus的高质量基因组组装，该样本靠近该物种的模式所在地。该基因组组装由38个支架组成，跨度302.74Mb，重叠群N50为15.9Mb，支架N50为19.9Mb，BUSCO完整性为99.2%。该基因组序列将为探索C.vicinus和木匠蚁的进化生态学提供宝贵的资源。它还提供了一个重要的工具来澄清C.vicinus物种复合体中的隐蔽多样性，这是一组基因多样的种群，其中一些种群非常本地化，具有保护意义。

期刊介绍： Over the last 100 years, the Journal of Heredity has established and maintained a tradition of scholarly excellence in the publication of genetics research. Virtually every major figure in the field has contributed to the journal. Established in 1903, Journal of Heredity covers organismal genetics across a wide range of disciplines and taxa. Articles include such rapidly advancing fields as conservation genetics of endangered species, population structure and phylogeography, molecular evolution and speciation, molecular genetics of disease resistance in plants and animals, genetic biodiversity and relevant computer programs.
