Chromosome fusion and programmed DNA elimination shape karyotypes of parasitic nematodes
2023-12-23
Abstract excerpt
A growing list of metazoans undergo programmed DNA elimination (PDE), where a significant amount of DNA is selectively lost from the somatic genome during development. In some nematodes, PDE leads to the removal and remodeling of the ends of all germline chromosomes. In several species, PDE also generates internal breaks that lead to sequence loss and an increased number of somatic chromosomes. The biological sign...
