Daphnia: the companion papers for the genome sequence

Collection published: 3 April 2009

Last updated: 4 February 2011

This thematic series of companion papers constitutes the initial exploration of the genome biology of the waterflea (Daphnia) building on the first complete crustacean genome sequence. This series includes contributions from members of the Daphnia Genomics Consortium.

Daphnia is a versatile model system to investigate fundamental mechanisms of inheritance and development, cellular function, physiological systems, immunity response, disease, macromolecular structure/function relationships and the genetic basis of complex phenotypic traits. An extensive literature documenting physiological and ecological diversity make Daphnia an ideal model to study the genetic architecture of phenotypic variation in natural populations and the evolution of genome structure/function relationships in aquatic environments.

Not just another genome

Diethard Tautz BMC Biology 2011, 9:8 (4 February 2011)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

The genome of Daphnia pulex reveals a surprising number of novel genes compared with other arthropod genomes. Tautz suggests how environmental factors and life-cycle quirks may explain this remarkable genomic plasticity, and consequent rate of adaptation, in Daphnia.
