During the past few years several high-quality genomes has been published from
Charophyte algae, bryophytes, lycophytes and ferns. These genomes have not only …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has shed light on many aspects of eukaryotic
biology, including genetics, development, cell biology, and genomics. A major factor in the …

Caenorhabditis nematodes form an excellent model for studying how the mode of
reproduction affects genetic diversity, as some species reproduce via outcrossing whereas …

Mating systems have profound effects on genetic diversity and compatibility. The convergent
evolution of self-fertilization in three Caenorhabditis species provides a powerful lens to …

Modifiers of recombination rates have been described but the selective pressures acting on
them and their effect on adaptation to novel environments remain unclear. We performed …

Background Repetitive sequences and mobile elements make up considerable fractions of
individual genomes. While transposition events can be detrimental for organismal fitness …

Caenorhabditis is a group of nematodes that contains the important model organism C.
elegans. Several chromosome-level genome assemblies exist for species within this group …

Abstract Fig (Moraceae: Ficus) species host vast communities of organisms that are bound
together by complicated ecological networks that have influenced community structure and …

Why the recently discovered nematode Caenorhabditis inopinata differs so greatly from its
sibling species Caenorhabditis elegans remains unknown. A previous study showed that C …

Genes embed their evolutionary history in the form of various alleles. Presence–absence
variants (PAVs) are extreme cases of such alleles, where a gene present in one haplotype …
