Genetic tests of ancient asexuality in root knot nematodes reveal recent hybrid origins.

BMC evolutionary biology - 7 Jul 2008

Lunt David H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The existence of "ancient asexuals", taxa that have persisted for long periods of evolutionary history without sexual recombination, is both controversial and important for our understanding of the evolution and maintenance of sexual reproduction. A lack of sex has consequences not only for the ecology of the asexual organism but also for its genome. Several genetic signatures are predicted from...
