Blaxter M, Leech C, Lunt D
Wellcome Open Res
. 2024 Nov;
9:55.
PMID: 39534537
Nematodes are important biological models in genetics and genomics, with research driven by basic biological as well as applied questions. The presence of holocentric chromosomes, clades with frequent polyploidy and...

Winter M, Taranto A, Yimer H, Coomer Blundell A, Siddique S, Williamson V, et al.
PLoS One
. 2024 Jun;
19(6):e0302506.
PMID: 38843263
We present the chromosome-scale genome assembly of the allopolyploid root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica. We show that the M. javanica genome is predominantly allotetraploid, comprising two subgenomes, A and B, that...

PLoS One
. 2021 Dec;
16(12):e0253248.
PMID: 34851967
Root-knot nematodes (RKN; genus Meloidogyne) are polyphagous plant pathogens of great economic importance to agriculturalists globally. These species are small, diverse, and can be challenging for accurate taxonomic identification. Many...

J Nematol
. 2020 Mar;
52:1-5.
PMID: 32180388
Root-knot nematodes from the genus are polyphagous plant endoparasites and agricultural pests of global importance. Here, we report the high-quality genome sequence of population SI-Smartno V13. The resulting genome assembly...

Faber-Hammond J, Bezault E, Lunt D, Joyce D, Renn S
Genome Biol Evol
. 2019 Sep;
11(10):2856-2874.
PMID: 31504491
The initial sequencing of five cichlid genomes revealed an accumulation of genetic variation, including extensive copy number variation in cichlid lineages particularly those that have undergone dramatic evolutionary radiation. Gene...

Mol Ecol
. 2018 Oct;
27(23):4931-4946.
PMID: 30346097
It is unclear how sustained increases in temperature and changes in precipitation, as a result of climate change, will affect crops and their interactions with agricultural weeds, insect pests and...

Kitson J, Hahn C, Sands R, Straw N, Evans D, Lunt D
Mol Ecol
. 2018 Feb;
28(2):471-483.
PMID: 29485216
Determining the host-parasitoid interactions and parasitism rates for invasive species entering novel environments is an important first step in assessing potential routes for biocontrol and integrated pest management. Conventional insect...

Szitenberg A, Salazar-Jaramillo L, Blok V, Laetsch D, Joseph S, Williamson V, et al.
Genome Biol Evol
. 2017 Oct;
9(10):2844-2861.
PMID: 29036290
The root-knot nematodes (genus Meloidogyne) are important plant parasites causing substantial agricultural losses. The Meloidogyne incognita group (MIG) of species, most of which are obligatory apomicts (mitotic parthenogens), are extremely...

Genome Biol Evol
. 2016 Aug;
8(9):2964-2978.
PMID: 27566762
Transposable elements (TEs) are a major source of genome variation across the branches of life. Although TEs may play an adaptive role in their host's genome, they are more often...

11(9):e1004447.
PMID: 26335558
The reproducibility of experiments is key to the scientific process, and particularly necessary for accurate reporting of analyses in data-rich fields such as phylogenomics. We present ReproPhylo, a phylogenomic analysis...
