This project investigates the evolutionary advantages of sexual reproduction by studying bdelloid rotifers, which reproduce asexually. It aims to understand how these organisms avoid genome deterioration and promote diversification, focusing on their unique adaptations like desiccation resistance and DNA repair mechani…
Why sexual reproduction is overwhelmingly predominant among the metazoans remains unclear.
Ancient asexual taxa are interesting model systems to gain general insights into the adaptive values of sex.
The most notorious and the highest taxonomic rank within the metazoans to reproduce asexually is the bdelloid rotifers.
While studies suggest that most asexuals arose recently, the published genome of the bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga provided the first positive evidence for the long-term ameiotic e…
