Reciprocal genomic evolution in the ant–fungus agricultural symbiosis

Reciprocal genomic evolution in the ant–fungus agricultural symbiosis

Attine ants, including the leaf-cutting ants, cultivate fungi as their sole source of food. Here, Nygaard et al. use whole genome and transcriptome sequences from seven ant species and their fungal cultivars to reconstruct the reciprocal genetic changes underlying the evolution of the ant-fungus mut...
