The paper shows that a neo-Y chromosome emerged in nematodes with rare males, showing degeneration and male-beneficial genes, supporting its maintenance in autopseudogamy.

This study identifies PDE in 17 out of 25 tested Rhabditidae nematode species, showing its widespread occurrence in this family.

This study describes programmed-DNA elimination (PDE) in the free-living nematode genus Mesorhabditis, showing it eliminates repeated elements and unique sequences, possibly to silence repeated elements in the soma.
