i5K Comments for Formica exsecta
Formica exsecta is a model organism for studying recognition cues, inbreeding, immunity and aging. It is found throughout Europe and has been the subject of around 50 published studies, many which include the Finnish population that has been studied for over 20 years. As part of study of maintenance of recognition cues the transcriptome was sequenced in 2009 and the information has been used in 4 large genetic studies linked with recognition systems since other groups are studying the biochemical pathways that underlie the recognition system which is known in this species.
