Solenopsis invicta
The DNA was extracted from a single focal haploid male with Gp-9 big B genotype. The focal male was the son of a queen from a polygynous colony that was originally collected near Athens, Georgia, USA in 2008. Upon transfer to the laboratory, the queen had been isolated with workers and reared as the solitary queen of a colony for one year to ensure that all progeny in the colony were hers.
