Adaptation to environmental temperature in divergent clades of the nematode Pristionchus pacificus
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2022 Because of ongoing climate change, populations of organisms are being subjected to stressful temperatures more often. This is especially problematic for ectothermic organisms, which are likely to be more sensitive to changes in temperature. Therefore, we

Limited microsynteny between the genomes of Pristionchus pacificus and Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2003 Nematodes are an attractive group of organisms for studying the evolution of developmental processes. Pristionchus pacificus was established as a satellite organism for comparing vulva development and other processes to Caenorhabditis elegans. The generation of a genetic linkage map of P.pacificus has provided a first insight into the structure and ...

Developmental Plasticity and Robustness of a Nematode Mouth-Form Polyphenism
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 In the last decade, case studies in plants and animals provided increasing insight into the molecular mechanisms of developmental plasticity. When complemented with evolutionary and ecological analyses, these studies suggest that plasticity represents a ...

Efficient visual screening of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus
Development, Growth and Differentiation, 2021 CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing has been applied to a wide variety of organisms, including nematodes such as Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus. In these nematodes, genome editing is achieved by microinjection of Cas9 protein and guide RNA into

Nature Communications, 2016 In the nematode Pristionchus pacificus, a developmental switch, the sulfatase eud-1, controls mouth-form plasticity. Here, the authors show that mutations in two conserved histone modifying enzymes mimic the eud-1 phenotype, in part mediated by an ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background The recent sequencing of nematode genomes has laid the basis for comparative genomics approaches to study the impact of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) on the adaptation to new environments and the evolution of parasitism.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Natural acquisition of novel genes from other organisms by horizontal or lateral gene transfer is well established for microorganisms. There is now growing evidence that horizontal gene transfer also plays important roles in the evolution of ...

Proteogenomics ofPristionchus pacificusreveals distinct proteome structure of nematode models [PDF]
Genome Research, 2010 Pristionchus pacificusis a nematode model organism whose genome has recently been sequenced. To refine the genome annotation we performed transcriptome and proteome analysis and gathered comprehensive experimental information on gene expression. Transcriptome analysis on a 454 Life Sciences (Roche) FLX platform generated >700,000 expressed sequence ...
