Patterns of molecular evolution in Caenorhabditis preclude ancient origins of selfing.

Genetics - 1 Apr 2008

Cutter Asher D, Wasmuth James D, Washington Nicole L

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of self-fertilization can mediate pronounced changes in genomes as a by-product of a drastic reduction in effective population size and the concomitant accumulation of slightly deleterious mutations by genetic drift. In the nematode genus Caenorhabditis, a highly selfing lifestyle has evolved twice independently, thus permitting an opportunity to test for the effects of mode of reproduction on...
