Nematodes are abundant and diverse, and include many parasitic species. Molecular
phylogenetic analyses have shown that parasitism of plants and animals has arisen at least …

In recent decades, great strides have been made using various kinds of data including
molecular sequences to clarify the phylogenetic relationships of nematodes. Although SSU …

Generating the raw data for a de novo genome assembly project for a target eukaryotic
species is relatively easy. This democratization of access to large-scale data has allowed …

Morphology has traditionally played a pivotal role in animal phylogeny since the first
evolutionary biologists began to decipher the animal tree of life. In recent times, however …

Nematodes are non-segmented roundworms found in soil, aquatic environment, plants, or
animals. Either useful or pathogenic, they greatly influence environmental equilibrium …

In the three decades since the FMRFamide peptide was isolated from the mollusk
Macrocallista nimbosa, structurally similar peptides sharing a C-terminal RFamide motif …

The genomes of more than 20 helminths have now been sequenced. Here we perform a
meta-analysis of all sequenced genomes of nematodes and Platyhelminthes, and attempt to …

Plant‐parasitic nematodes can secrete effector proteins into the host tissue to facilitate their
parasitism. In this study, we report a novel effector protein, MgMO237, from Meloidogyne …

The nematode Caenorhabditis briggsae is a model for comparative developmental evolution
with C. elegans. Worldwide collections of C. briggsae have implicated an intriguing history of …

Many nematode species are parasitic and threaten the health of plants and animals,
including humans, on a global scale. Advances in DNA sequencing techniques have …
