Biomedical research has long relied on animal models to unravel the intricacies of human
physiology and pathology. However, concerns surrounding ethics, expenses, and inherent …

Programmed DNA elimination (PDE) is a notable exception to the paradigm of genome
integrity. In metazoa, PDE often occurs coincident with germline to somatic cell …

The ascarids are a large group of parasitic nematodes that infect a wide range of animal
species. In humans, they cause neglected diseases of poverty; many animal parasites also …

Small RNA pathways play key and diverse regulatory roles in C. elegans, but our
understanding of their conservation and contributions in other nematodes is limited. We …

An increasing number of metazoans undergo programmed DNA elimination (PDE), where a
significant amount of DNA is selectively lost from the somatic genome during development …

Background Baylisascaris schroederi is the most common and harmful intestinal parasitic
nematode of giant pandas, causing ascariasis. Although drug deworming is the main …

A growing list of metazoans undergo programmed DNA elimination (PDE), where a
significant amount of DNA is selectively lost from the somatic genome during development …

Lymphatic filariasis is caused by parasitic nematodes and is a leading cause of disability
worldwide. Many filarial worms contain the bacterium Wolbachia as an obligate …

Sarcoptes scabiei is the causative agent of a highly contagious skin disease in humans and
more than 100 mammals. Here, we reported the first chromosome‐level reference genome …

Abstract Background Giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) are the obligate host of the
parasitic roundworm Baylisascaris schroederi. The infection of giant pandas with B …
