Hidden in the genomic bycatch: insights into genome reorganization and population structure of the parasitic nematode Contortylenchus reversus.
Insect-parasitic nematodes are widespread and often significantly reduce host fitness, yet we know surprisingly little about most species. Contortylenchus reversus is a hemocoel-inhabiting parasitic nematode that infects Dendroctonus bark beetles, notably impacting host mobility and fecundity. We first detail a chromosome-scale genome assembly of C. reversus, recovered serendipitously from a…
