Unzipped chromosome-level genomes reveal allopolyploid nematode origin pattern as unreduced gamete hybridization

Abstract The formation and consequences of polyploidization in animals with clonal reproduction remain largely unknown. Clade I root-knot nematodes (RKNs), characterized by parthenogenesis and allopolyploidy, show a widespread geographical distribution and extensive agricultural destruction. Here, w...
