The paper identifies a beneficial genomic rearrangement in C. elegans that creates multiple versions of the rcan-1 gene, enhancing fitness and exploration behavior.

This study identifies extreme allelic heterogeneity in the ben-1 gene of C. elegans as a major determinant of natural resistance to albendazole, revealing multiple mechanisms of benzimidazole resistance.

This study shows that fitness advantages in the N2 C. elegans strain arise from genetic changes in npr-1 and glb-5, which affect O2 sensing and pheromone circuits, not directly from solitary feeding behavior.
