Overview
The diplogastrid nematode Pristionchus pacificus has been recently established as a new genetic model system for evolutionary studies. Forward and reverse genetics tools have been developed to allow detailed comparisons to the rhabditid nematode C. elegans. P. pacificus has distinctive body morphology and diverges in development both at the cellular and molecular level when compared to C. elegans. Despite these differences, P. pacificus shares many traits with C. elegans that are of advantage for genetic analyses.
