Massive programmed DNA elimination during embryogenesis in the trioecious nematode Auanema rhodense

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

The contribution of an X chromosome QTL to non-Mendelian inheritance and unequal chromosomal segregation in A. freiburgense

The paper identifies an X chromosome QTL associated with non-Mendelian inheritance and nullo-spermatid elimination in A. freiburgense.

Chromatin-associated effectors of energy-sensing pathways mediate intergenerational effects

The paper shows that parental modulation of nutrient-sensing pathways in nematodes affects offspring phenotypic plasticity through chromatin-associated effectors.

Towards genetic modification of plant-parasitic nematodes: delivery of macromolecules to adults and expression of exogenous mRNA in second stage juveniles.

This paper develops methods for delivering macromolecules and expressing exogenous mRNA in plant-parasitic nematodes, advancing functional genetic tools for these pests.

Liposome-based transfection enhances RNAi and CRISPR-mediated mutagenesis in non-model nematode systems

The paper demonstrates that liposome-based transfection combined with microinjection enables reliable RNAi and CRISPR-mediated mutagenesis in non-model nematodes.

Chromosome-wide evolution and sex determination in a nematode with three sexes

This study reports the genome sequence of Auanema rhodensis, a nematode with three sexes, and identifies conserved and rearranged chromosomal units, as well as candidate genes involved in sex determination.
