+ - _C. inopinata_ appears to have a longer life span that _C. elegans_, but

  - The _C. inopinata_ genome is ~123 Mb and contains active transposons that
    may explain the increased genome size compared with _C. elegans_.
    Structural changes between both species are mainly intra-chromosomal ([[Kanzaki
