nematode , closely related to the model organism "Caenorhabditis elegans " and to other species in the samegenus . Itsgenome is being sequenced byWashington University in St. Louis Genome Sequencing Center [Cite web |url=http://genome.wustl.edu/genome.cgi?GENOME=Caenorhabditis%20n.%20sp.%20PB2801 |title="Caenorhabditis" n. sp. PB2801 |publisher=Washington University School of Medicine Genome Sequencing Center |accessdate=2007-04-26] . This species has previously been referred to as "C." sp 4 and "Caenorhabditis" sp. CB5161 but was recently formally described and given itsscientific name [cite journal |quotes=no |journal=Zootaxa |volume=1456 |pages=45–62 |year=2007 |title=Comparison of the cryptic nematode species "Caenorhabditis brenneri" sp. n. and "C. remanei "(Nematoda: Rhabditidae) with the stem species pattern of the "Caenorhabditis Elegans" group |author=Walter Sudhaus & Karin Kiontke |url=http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2007f/zt01456p062.pdf] . This name is in honor ofSydney Brenner , recognizing his pioneering role in starting active research in the field of "C. elegans" biology and development.References
