On the potential for extinction by Muller's Ratchet in Caenorhabditis elegans
BACKGROUND: The self-fertile hermaphrodite worm C. elegans is an important model organism for biology, yet little is known about the origin and persistence of the self-fertilizing mode of reproduction in this lineage. Recent work has demonstrated an extraordinary degree of selfing combined with a hi...
