The paper reports extreme programmed DNA elimination in Auanema rhodense during embryogenesis, revealing extensive loss of germline-specific DNA from somatic cells.

The paper quantifies mutational sensitivity in nematode vulval development and shows how differences in sensitivity between clades explain divergent phenotypic evolution patterns.

The paper implements and evaluates algorithms for inferring ancestral linkage groups and inter-chromosomal rearrangements using synteny, showing their effectiveness and limitations with simulations and nematode genome data.

The paper presents a telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of Oscheius tipulae and identifies ancestral chromosomal elements that inform the evolution of rhabditid nematode chromosomes.

The paper examines differential gene and microRNA expression in monarch butterfly larvae fed different milkweed hosts, finding significant differences in growth-related genes and potential regulatory roles of miR-278.
