The paper uses co-mutation networks to analyze ancient human mitochondrial DNA, revealing lifestyle transitions and genetic selection patterns across different ages.

The paper describes the evolution of a new W chromosome in Bunonema nematodes that helps escape lethal mutations from parthenogenesis.

The paper models TE regulation in nematodes and finds that only outcrossing populations with parasitic TE regulation maintain TEs stably.

This study tests whether male frequency predicts inbreeding responses in C. elegans by measuring fitness changes across strains with varying male frequencies.

The paper compiles a dataset of 9,511 horizontally transferred genes in eukaryotes, annotated with certainty levels based on reporting methods.

The paper examines mutation retention in C. elegans strains after mutagenesis, finding strain-specific differences in structural variant accumulation and mutation retention.

The paper constructs a Boolean network model of C. elegans developmental pathways to identify causal relationships determining dauer fate based on environmental signals.

The paper evaluates optimal experimental design for genome sequencing and assembly using Oxford Nanopore Technologies by simulating and analyzing data from multiple organisms.
