The ribosomal RNA genes are encoded in large, tandemly repeated arrays (rDNA). Strains within a species can vary in their rDNA copy number. We used Nextera-based whole genome sequencing to genotype a
C. elegans is a model organism that has been used extensively since its establishment by Sydney Brenner in 1974. 60-80% of human genes have an ortholog in C. elegans. Hence, many findings in C. elegan
