Divergent gene expression in the conserved dauer stage of the nematodes <it>Pristionchus pacificus</it> and <it>Caenorhabditis elegans</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>An organism can respond to changing environmental conditions by adjusting gene regulation and by forming alternative phenotypes. In nematodes, these mechanisms are coupled because many species will form dauer larvae, a stress-resista...
