Population genetics of Caenorhabditis elegans: the paradox of low polymorphism in a widespread species.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2003

Sivasundar Arjun, Hey Jody

Abstract excerpt

Caenorhabditis elegans has become one of the most widely used model research organisms, yet we have little information on evolutionary processes and recent evolutionary history of this widespread species. We examined patterns of variation at 20 microsatellite loci in a sample of 23 natural isolates of C. elegans from various parts of the world. One-half of the loci were monomorphic among all strains, and overall...
