Sex-biased gene expression and evolution of the x chromosome in nematodes.
Studies of X chromosome evolution in various organisms have indicated that sex-biased genes are nonrandomly distributed between the X and autosomes. Here, to extend these studies to nematodes, we annotated and analyzed X chromosome gene content in four Caenorhabditis species and in Pristionchus pacificus. Our gene expression analyses comparing young adult male and female mRNA-seq data indicate ...
متن کاملGenetics, Chromatin Diminution, and Sex Chromosome Evolution in the Parasitic Nematode Genus Strongyloides
BACKGROUND When chromatin diminution occurs during a cell division a portion of the chromatin is eliminated, resulting in daughter cells with a smaller amount of genetic material. In the parasitic roundworms Ascaris and Parascaris, chromatin diminution creates a genetic difference between the soma and the germline. However, the function of chromatin diminution remains a mystery, because the vas...
متن کاملNuclear receptors in parasitic nematodes
Introduction One of the most prevalent classes of parasitic organisms is the helminth (parasitic worms), which collectively infect more than 1 billion people worldwide and cause a range of maladies including malnutrition, growth and mental retardation, disfigurement and physical disabilities, and death (1). Helminths that infect humans are generally considered to comprise two major phyla: Nemat...
متن کاملSex-specific adaptation drives early sex chromosome evolution in Drosophila.
Most species' sex chromosomes are derived from ancient autosomes and show few signatures of their origins. We studied the sex chromosomes of Drosophila miranda, where a neo-Y chromosome originated only approximately 1 million years ago. Whole-genome and transcriptome analysis reveals massive degeneration of the neo-Y, that male-beneficial genes on the neo-Y are more likely to undergo accelerate...

the number of bacteria per dauerjuvenile. Preliminary data established similar LD50s and LT50s for X. nematophilus subsp, nematophilus (from the DD 136 strain) and X. nematophilus subsp, nematophilus vat. mexicanus (from the Mexican strain). The absence of toxin production by either S.feltiae strain or bacterial types in a culture medium similar to the host's hemolymph has been reported (5,6). ...
