The paper analyzes the genomic diversity of C. tropicalis, finding geographic correlation and hyper-divergent regions linked to environmental adaptation.

The paper presents a gap-free, telomere-to-telomere genome assembly for the C. briggsae AF16 strain, along with improved gene annotations and variant mappings.

The paper identifies 94 candidate genes in C. elegans linked to susceptibility to 23 environmental toxicants using genome-wide association analysis.

The paper analyzes over 2,000 Caenorhabditis briggsae wild strains to uncover genetic diversity, population structure, and evolutionary mechanisms shaping phenotypic variation.

This study quantifies the fitness effects of resistance alleles to albendazole and ivermectin in C. elegans, finding that resistance requires specific gene deletions and that multi-drug resistance is not observed.

The paper tests the role of five beta-tubulin genes in benzimidazole resistance in C. elegans, finding that only ben-1 loss confers substantial resistance.

The paper improves gene models for the C. briggsae QX1410 genome through manual curation, achieving quality comparable to the well-curated AF16 strain.

The paper generates chromosome-level reference genomes for two C. briggsae strains, improving genomic resources for comparative genomics in the Caenorhabditis genus.
