This study identifies structural variants in wild Caenorhabditis elegans populations using long-read sequencing, revealing their role in phenotypic diversity and adaptation.

This study evaluates how FASTQ read order affects structural variation calling in long-read sequencing data using PacBio data from C. elegans isolates.

The paper benchmarks structural variant prediction tools in C. elegans, showing performance varies by variant type and sequencing depth, and highlights the need for real-data reference datasets.

The paper evaluates nomenclature accuracy in 16S rRNA gene reference databases and finds significant misannotations affecting reliability.
