End of the beginning ? Chromosome ends of root-knot nematodes are quite different from everything else described so far in living forms...discover more by about their genomes by reading our paper just published in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

Happy to share our new paper on the strange telomeres of Meloidogyne! Now out on Nature Communications 🥳

Proud this work from Pierre van Griethuysen's PhD is published. We identified a volatile chemical, in virally-infected plants, that calls a "taxi" (a nematode), helping the virus move from plant to plant. Biology at York Sue Hartley Kelly Redeker nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
