The genome and transcriptome of Panagrellus redivivus is shaped by the harsh demands of a free-living lifestyle

ABSTRACT: Nematodes comprise an abundant and diverse invertebrate phylum with members inhabiting nearly every ecological niche. Panagrellus redivivus (the M-bM-^@M-^YmicrowormM-bM-^@M-^Y) is a free-living nematode frequently used to understand the evolution of developmental and behavioral processes given its phylogenetic distance to Caenorhabditis elegans. Here we report the de novo sequencing of the genome, transcriptome, and small RNAs of P. redivivus. Using a combination of automated gene finders and RNAM-bM-^@M-^Qseq data, we predict 24249 genes and 32676 transcripts. Small RNA analysis revealed 248 micro RNA hairpins, of which 63 had orthologs in other species. Fourteen miRNA clusters containing 42 miRNA precursors were found. P. redivivus has a full complement of genes for regulation of dauer
