This study shows that high nutritional conditions, particularly glucose, induce non-predatory mouth-form polyphenism in Pristionchus pacificus through fatty acid synthesis and beta-oxidation pathways.

This study links bacterial metabolic pathways to nematode gene expression, behavior, and survival by analyzing interactions between Pristionchus pacificus and its associated bacteria.

The paper improves gene annotations in Pristionchus pacificus by combining comparative genomics and community curation, resulting in a higher quality gene set with improved ortholog completeness.
