TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced the ∼90 megabase (Mb) genome of the human filarial parasite Brugia malayi and predicted ∼11,500 protein coding genes in 71 Mb of robustly assembled sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the control of oocyte meiotic maturation and ovulation in Caenorhabditis elegans
TL;DR: By systematically altering the germ cell contents of the hermaphrodite using mutant strains, this work has uncovered evidence of four cell-cell interactions that regulate maturation and ovulation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Journal ArticleDOI
The population genetics of the origin and divergence of the Drosophila simulans complex species
Richard M. Kliman,Peter Andolfatto,Jerry A. Coyne,Frantz Depaulis,Martin Kreitman,Andrew Berry,James P. McCarter,John Wakeley,Jody Hey +8 more
TL;DR: The origins and divergence of Drosophila simulans and close relatives D. mauritiana and D. sechellia were examined using the patterns of DNA sequence variation found within and between species at 14 different genes, and revealed little evidence of gene flow between the species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The draft genome of the parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis

McCarter,Judith A. Appleton,Elaine R. Mardis,Richard K. Wilson +22 more
TL;DR: A draft genome sequence of Trichinella spiralis, a food-borne zoonotic parasite, which is the most common cause of human trichinellosis is reported, enabling identification of archetypical genes and molecular signatures exclusive to nematodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A transcriptomic analysis of the phylum nematoda.
John Parkinson,Makedonka Mitreva,Claire Whitton,Marian Thomson,Jennifer Daub,John Martin,Ralf Schmid,Neil Hall,Bart Barrell,Robert H. Waterston,James P. McCarter,Mark Blaxter +11 more
TL;DR: The phylum Nematoda occupies a huge range of ecological niches, from free-living microbivores to human parasites, and more than 2,600 different known protein domains were identified, some of which had differential abundances between major taxonomic groups of nematodes.
