Transgenerational chromosome repair in the asexual bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga

A. Houtain, A. Derzelle, M. Lliros, B. Hespeels, E. Nicolas, P. Simion, J. Virgo, T. Lenormand, B. Hallet, K. Van Doninck

This study identifies a novel transgenerational DNA repair mechanism in the asexual bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga that uses meiotic recombination to repair fragmented chromosomes across generations.

Convergent consequences of parthenogenesis on stick insect genomes

K. S. Jaron, D. J. Parker, Y. Anselmetti, P. Tran Van, J. Bast, Z. Dumas, E. Figuet, C. M. Francois, K. Hayward, V. Rossier, P. Simion, M. Robinson-Rechavi, N. Galtier, T. Schwander

This study compares parthenogenetic and sexual stick insect species to show reduced heterozygosity, less effective selection, and no TE accumulation in parthenogens.

Homologous chromosomes in asexual rotifer Adineta vaga suggest automixis

P. Simion, J. Narayan, A. Houtain, A. Derzelle, L. Baudry, E. Nicolas, M. Cariou, N. Guiglielmoni, D. Kozlowski, F. R. Gaudray, M. Terwagne, J. Virgo, B. Noel, P. Wincker, E. G. Danchin, , K. Van Doninck

This study presents a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of the asexual bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga, revealing homologous chromosomes and evidence of recombination consistent with automixis.
