This study investigates DNA repair pathway expression in the bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga after radiation exposure, showing delayed homologous recombination repair in germline nuclei and early NHEJ and BER in somatic tissues.

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.

This study compares the transcriptomic responses of bdelloid rotifers to desiccation and ionizing radiation, finding shared and distinct molecular mechanisms.

The paper evaluates long-read assemblers and post-processing tools for haplotype collapsing in non-model organisms, finding methods that improve haploid assembly quality.

The paper investigates how immigration from a metacommunity influences bdelloid rotifer community dynamics, finding that immigration is the dominant factor over local processes.

The paper responds to criticisms of a 2016 study on horizontal genetic transfers in asexual Bdelloid rotifers, addressing claims of cross-contamination and data interpretation errors.
