| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using the Japanese carpenter ant, Camponotus japonicus, we determined the total genome. By the RNAseq analysis in the antennae, we made a complete catalogue of chemosensory receptor-related genes, including the olfactory, gustatory receptor genes, IR genes and CSP genes. In our research, 443 olfactory receptor genes were identified and 212 of them were first estimated to express in the particular olfactory sensilla, which play important role for the nestmate- and non-nestmate discrimination. This group of olfactory receptor genes has widely evolved in ant species, however expressed specifically in female casts but not in male, who need not contact with non-nestmates but for mating in their lives.
