The paper describes the evolution of a new W chromosome in Bunonema nematodes that helps escape lethal mutations from parthenogenesis.

The paper models TE regulation in nematodes and finds that only outcrossing populations with parasitic TE regulation maintain TEs stably.

The paper examines mutation retention in C. elegans strains after mutagenesis, finding strain-specific differences in structural variant accumulation and mutation retention.
