Natural variation and population genetics of Caenorhabditis elegans.

WormBook : the online review of C. elegans biology - 26 Dec 2005

Barrière Antoine, Félix Marie-Anne

Abstract excerpt

C. elegans presents a low level of molecular diversity, which may be explained by its selfing mode of reproduction. Recent work on the genetic structure of natural populations of C. elegans indeed suggests a low level of outcrossing, and little geographic differentiation because of migration. The level and pattern of molecular diversity among wild isolates of C. elegans are compared with those found after...
