This study shows mtDNA can rapidly adapt to nuclear ETC mutations in C. elegans, with compensatory mutations in nd-1 significantly improving fitness.

This study tracks mutation rates and fitness effects in C. elegans under minimal selection, finding increased indel mutation rates and no change in nucleotide substitution rates.

The paper analyzes mtDNA polymorphism in natural C. elegans populations and compares it to experimental lines, finding differences in mutational biases and evidence of natural selection.

This study shows that natural selection in C. elegans maintains low TE expression, with increased TE expression observed in smaller populations due to reduced silencing efficiency.

This study investigates epimutations driven by small RNAs in C. elegans, finding they arise frequently but have limited duration.
