This paper reports chromosome-level sequences for two C. briggsae strains QX1410 (closely-related AF16) and VX34 (a highly divergent strain isolated in China). Recombinant inbred lines were also isolated to create a recombination map and chromosomal domains. RNA sequencing data were generated to annotate genes. The new genomes improve resources for C. briggsae and promise to accelerate comparative genomic and evolutionary studies involving nematodes.

The Washington University C. briggsae website, hosted by late Ray Miller, has finally moved to briggsae.org (see “OTHER LINKS” section). The contents were kindly provided by Daniel Koboldt. Researchers can browse the ‘Old WashU briggsae website contents’ link for datasets on briggsae SNPs and cb3 linkage maps.

The new C. briggsae website (www.briggsae.org) is up and running…finally!
