Heteroderidae

Heteroderidae [1] is a family of nematodes. The name comes from the Greek heteros = other and deras = skin (derm). This "refers to the different 'skins' of female and cyst."[2]

Genetics

GenBank has unusually extensive coverage of Heteroderidae internal transcribed spacers, most of which has been generated by Sergei Subbotin and collaborators (Subbotin et al 1999, Clapp et al 2000, Subbotin et al 2000, Zeng et al 2000, Subbotin et al 2001, Amiri & Subbotin 2002, Subbotin et al 2003). In total over 1⁄3 of described Heteroderidae have some ITS data in GenBank. Overall Subbotin et al find the preexisting taxonomy to fit very well with these sequences, with some room for further diversification of recognized species to fit this new molecular evidence.[3]
