“…The precise mechanism governing this diminution is not yet understood. Although the chromatin lost during this process is not fully characterized, there appears to be a significant loss in repeat content 7 , consistent with the present assembly. Notably, the present gene set inferred for A. suum includes fert-1 and rpS19G, which, although originally proposed to be germline-specific 7 , were transcribed in all adult libraries sequenced here.…”

Notably, the present gene set inferred for A. suum includes fert-1 and rpS19G, which, although originally proposed to be germline-specific 7 , were transcribed in all adult libraries sequenced here. This finding suggests that the genomic content lost during diminution might vary among individuals or tissues, and is a stimulus to investigate chromatin diminution between and among individual cells (that is, sperm or eggs), stages and tissue types of A. suum.…”

“…It happens during mitosis and consists of two separate events, namely of chromosome fragmentation and of the loss of chromosomal material in the prospective somatic cells. Based on cytological observations, chromatin diminution has been reported to occur in 10 different nematode species, most of them belonging to the parasitic family of Ascarididae (reviewed in [1]). In all species, this process takes place during early embryogenesis in all pre-somatic cells concomitantly with soma and germ line segregation and therefore is linked to germ line-soma differentiation.…”
