A genomic investigation of Meloidogyne javanica: genome assembly, comparative analysis, and virulence (2024)
Thesis
Winter, M. (2024). A genomic investigation of Meloidogyne javanica: genome assembly, comparative analysis, and virulence. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5088328

The Meloidogyne incognita group (MIG) of nematodes, including Meloidogyne javanica, contains some of the most destructive crop pathogens worldwide. Genetic resistance, such as through the Mi-1 gene, is used to limit M. javanica infection, but resista...

Phased chromosome-scale genome assembly of an asexual, allopolyploid root-knot nematode reveals complex subgenomic structure (2024)
Journal Article
Winter, M. R., Taranto, A. P., Yimer, H. Z., Coomer Blundell, A., Siddique, S., Williamson, V. M., & Lunt, D. H. (2024). Phased chromosome-scale genome assembly of an asexual, allopolyploid root-knot nematode reveals complex subgenomic structure. PLoS ONE, 19(6), Article e0302506. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0302506

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 most likely originated from hy...

A catalogue of chromosome counts for Phylum Nematoda (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Blaxter, M., Leech, C., & Lunt, D. H. A catalogue of chromosome counts for Phylum Nematoda

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 the phenomenon of programmed DNA e... Read More about A catalogue of chromosome counts for Phylum Nematoda.
