The hermaphroditic nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been one of the primary model
systems in biology since the 1970s, but only within the last two decades has this nematode …

Males of Caenorhabditis elegans provide a crucial practical tool in the laboratory, but, as the
rarer and more finicky sex, have not enjoyed the same depth of research attention as …

For the past 15 years, the UCSC Genome Browser (http://genome. ucsc. edu/) has served
the international research community by offering an integrated platform for viewing and …

Across diverse taxa, selfing species have evolved independently from outcrossing species
thousands of times. The transition from outcrossing to selfing decreases the effective …

Background Microbial inhabitants of soils are important to ecosystem and planetary
functions, yet there are large gaps in our knowledge of their diversity and ecology. The …

Hawaiian isolates of the nematode species Caenorhabditis elegans have long been known
to harbor genetic diversity greater than the rest of the worldwide population, but this …

The ultimate goal for diploid genome determination is to completely decode homologous
chromosomes independently, and several phasing programs from consensus sequences …

The optimal foraging strategy in a given environment depends on the number of competing
individuals and their behavioural strategies. Little is known about the genes and neural …

Over the last 20 years, studies of Caenorhabditis elegans natural diversity have
demonstrated the power of quantitative genetic approaches to reveal the evolutionary …

Host-parasite interactions exert strong selection pressures on the genomes of both host and
parasite. These interactions can lead to negative frequency-dependent selection, a form of …
