Here we present the first draft genome of the black ant Lasius niger and it's comparative analysis with previously published hymenopteran genomes, including Acromyrmex echinatior, Camponotus floridanus, Harpegnathos saltator, Solenopsis invicta and others. The black garden ant is characterized by extreme tolerance to urbanization and remains one of the rare entomofauna cases, successful in urban environment. We have sequenced Lasius niger genome using Illumina HiSeq. Comparative ant genomics allowed us to detect specific characteristics of L.niger detoxication, stress and DRR gene sets probably explaining black garden ant talent in overcoming numerous urbanization-associated effects: habitat and community destruction, high level of chemical, thermal and light pollution. 1.
