This paper improves transgenesis efficiency in C. briggsae by modifying a transposon-based method with a heat shock step, enabling single-copy insertions and applications in hybrid male sterility studies.

The paper characterizes the genomic structure and variation of the 5S rDNA cluster in C. elegans and C. briggsae strains, revealing differences in stability and transcriptional compatibility.

This paper establishes Litoditis marina as a marine nematode model by genome sequencing, CRISPR/Cas9 editing, and comparative genomics to study environmental adaptation and developmental evolution.

The paper identifies multiple interacting genomic loci responsible for asymmetric hybrid male sterility and inviability between Caenorhabditis briggsae and C. nigoni.
