Effect of social environment and infection status on gene expression in the ant Temnothorax curvispinsosus

RNA-sequencing study of three tissues in ants infected with a fungal pathogen or a sham inoculate (control). Ants were kept in solitary or group conditions to study the genetic basis of social immunity.本研究针对感染真菌病原体或接受假接种（对照）的蚂蚁的三种组织开展RNA测序（RNA-sequencing）分析。实验将蚂蚁置于单独饲养或群居饲养环境中，以探究社会免疫的遗传基础。
