Somatic Programmed DNA Elimination is widespread in free-living Rhabditidae nematodes
2025-08-25
Abstract excerpt
All cells of a multicellular organism usually share an identical genome, faithfully transmitted through successive divisions. Yet, a number of animal species deviate from this dogma, as parts of their DNA are systematically eliminated in all their somatic nuclei, in a process called Programmed DNA Elimination (PDE). PDE leads to the unexpected reorganisation of the genome at every generation in all somatic cells b...
