Self-fertilization sweeps up variation in the worm genome.

Nature genetics - 27 Feb 2012

Phillips Patrick C

Abstract excerpt

A new study reports a comprehensive survey of genetic diversity in natural populations of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Their analyses suggest that recent chromosome-scale selective sweeps have reduced C. elegans genetic diversity worldwide and strongly structured genetic variation across its genome.
