Dimorphilus gyrociliatus (Segmented worms) Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Dimorphilus gyrociliatus

Dimorphilus gyrociliatus is a meiofaunal annelid worm with an extreme sexual dimorphism and a simplified body plan. Differently from other annelid worms, D. gyrociliatus has only six body segments and lack chaetae, parapodia, a blood vascular system and a larval stage. [1]
