The project studies the genomic basis of asexual reproduction in roundworms, specifically in the genus Plectus. It aims to develop advanced genome assembly techniques to understand how these species adapt to various environments and the mechanisms behind their reproductive strategies.
Sexual reproduction is a costly but seemingly necessary trait in animals.
However, species in diverse branches of the animal kingdom have secondarily reverted to asexual reproduction.
In the roundworms (phylum Nematoda), this reversal appears particularly frequent, as parthenogenetic species have emerged in numerous genera.
Species in the genus Plectus are obligately parthenogenetic, and are distributed in non-extreme and extreme environments across the globe.
