RNA-Seq of three free-living flatworm species suggests rapid evolution of reproduction-related genes

Abstract Background The genus Macrostomum consists of small free-living flatworms and contains Macrostomum lignano, which has been used in investigations of ageing, stem cell biology, bioadhesion, karyology, and sexual selection in hermaphrodites. Two types of mating behaviour occur within this genu...
