Molecular hyperdiversity defines populations of the nematode Caenorhabditis brenneri.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 2 Jul 2013

Abstract excerpt

The biology of Sydney Brenner's eponymous species of nematode, Caenorhabditis brenneri, is little known to science, despite its famous sibling Caenorhabditis elegans. Here we demonstrate that C. brenneri harbors the most molecular diversity of any eukaryote, with its 14.1% of polymorphic synonymous sites between individuals being 150-fold greater than humans and most comparable to hyperdiverse bacteria. This...
