Divergent C. elegans toxin alleles are suppressed by distinct mechanisms

S. Zdraljevic, L. Walter-McNeill, G. Bruni, H. Marquez, J. Collins, D. H. W. Leighton, N. Alexander, J. S. Bloom, L. Kruglyak

The paper identifies a new TA system in C. elegans with divergent toxin alleles suppressed by distinct mechanisms, including piRNA-mediated silencing in the N2 haplotype.

Local adaptation and spatiotemporal patterns of genetic diversity revealed by repeated sampling of Caenorhabditis elegans across the Hawaiian Islands

T. A. Crombie, P. Battlay, R. E. Tanny, K. S. Evans, C. M. Buchanan, D. E. Cook, C. M. Dilks, L. A. Stinson, S. Zdraljevic, G. Zhang, N. M. Roberto, D. Lee, M. Ailion, K. A. Hodgins, E. C. Andersen

This study samples C. elegans across Hawaii over three years, sequenced their genomes, and found seven genetic groups and 18 regions linked to local adaptation.

The distribution of mutational effects on fitness in Caenorhabditis elegans inferred from standing genetic variation

K. J. Gilbert, S. Zdraljevic, D. E. Cook, A. D. Cutter, E. C. Andersen, C. F. Baer

This study estimates the distribution of fitness effects from standing genetic variation in C. elegans and shows how self-fertilization and population structure bias DFE inferences.

Balancing selection maintains hyper-divergent haplotypes in C. elegans

D. Lee, S. Zdraljevic, L. Stevens, Y. Wang, R. E. Tanny, T. A. Crombie, D. E. Cook, A. K. Webster, R. Chirakar, L. R. Baugh, M. Sterken, C. Braendle, M.-A. Felix, M. Rockman, E. C. Andersen

The paper shows that balancing selection maintains genetic diversity in hyper-divergent regions of C. elegans, enabling adaptation despite selfing.

Selection and gene flow shape niche-associated copy-number variation of pheromone receptor genes

D. Lee, S. Zdraljevic, D. E. Cook, L. Frezal, J.-C. Hsu, M. G. Sterken, J. A. G. Riksen, J. Wang, J. E. Kammenga, C. Braendle, M.-A. Felix, F. C. Schroeder, E. C. Andersen

The paper shows that copy-number variation of pheromone receptor genes in C. elegans is shaped by selection and gene flow, contributing to differences in pheromone responses across habitats.
