Description
Hui-Ying Sun and four co-workers wrote a 2023 study on a parasite worm that causes schistosomiasis. Two worm groups in China shed their young at distinct times of day. Each timing suits its local host. The team read the full genomes of both groups to find the genetic base of that split.
Samples came from a hilly site and a marsh site in Anhui. The two groups showed clear genetic distance. Far more genome parts showed signs of selection in the marsh group than in the hill group. A small set of enriched genes stood out in the hill group, tied to DNA binding and cell signals. Some may relate to its late-day shedding.
