Genomic clues to an ancient asexual scandal.

Genome biology - 1 Jan 2007

Rice William R, Friberg Urban

Abstract excerpt

Despite abandoning meiosis, the bdelloid rotifers have persisted for millions of years and given rise to hundreds of species. Several mechanisms--allelic variants with different functions, high effective population size, and resistance to radiation--may contribute to their success.
