Deskripsi

Xing Wang et al. report a 1.2 Gb complete genome assembly of the earthworm Amynthas corticis and demonstrate that it is a triploid species. Gene family evolution, proteomic iTRAQ analysis, and 16 S rDNA sequencing demonstrate the evolution of adaptive defensive functions relative to other species in Annelida.
