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...

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.
