Abstract

The genome of Caenorhabditis eleganswas the first to be sequenced from a multicellular organism. One major finding was that despite a much smaller genome, C. eleganshas only marginally fewer genes than man. Sequencing of other nematode genomes demonstrated that this is a general feature of nematodes. With their high gene turnover and numerous examples of horizontal gene transfer, nematode genomes form a highly attractive system for comparative studies of genome structure and evolution.
