This study maps high-resolution recombination events in C. elegans, revealing sex-specific crossover patterns and their relationship with chromosomal features and structures.

The paper quantifies genomic differences between lab-cultivated lineages of C. elegans isolates, finding SNP and indel enrichment in introns and SV enrichment in intergenic regions.

The paper detects structural variations and transposable element differences between lab strains of C. elegans, revealing significant genetic drift despite assumed isogenicity.
