Deep sampling of Hawaiian <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> reveals high genetic diversity and admixture with global populations

2019-07-28

Abstract excerpt

Recent efforts to understand the natural niche of the keystone model organism Caenorhabditis elegans have suggested that this species is cosmopolitan and associated with rotting vegetation and fruits. However, most of the strains isolated from nature have low genetic diversity likely because recent chromosome-scale selective sweeps contain alleles that increase fitness in human-associated habitats. Strains from t...
