Abstract

Caenorhabditis nematodes are similar morphologically but highly distinct on the genetic level, with recent characterizations being based on DNA sequences. Comparisons between the model C. elegans and other Caenorhabditis species have revealed conserved chromosome organization and species-species changes that have improved our understanding of genome evolution. Here, we report a chromosome-scale assembly of a novel Caenorhabditis sp. 61 (strain JU4110). This reference genome expands the genomic resources available for genus Caenorhabditis and allows for more detailed comparative analyses and greater phylogenomic coverage.
