Abstract

Species of genus Caenorhabditis tend to be similar morphologically but highly distinct on the genetic level, with recent characterizations being based on DNA sequences and mating systems. Among them, Caenorhabditis elegans has become a powerful model organism due to its short generation time, high reproductive output, and experimental amenability. However, beyond C. elegans , many Caenorhabditis species have yet to be elucidated; here, we report a chromosome-scale assembly of a novel Caenorhabditis species #61 (strain JU4110).
