The most recognizable yellow jacket at Georgia Tech is made of fabric and foam, but Professor Mike Goodisman and a team of researchers revealed a far more complex cellular structure by successfully sequencing the genome of two local species of yellow jacket wasps—Vespula squamosa (the southern yellow jacket) and Vespula maculifrons (the eastern yellow jacket).
