Massive species-specific tandem duplications and occasional gene loss drove the rapid evolution of the F-box gene family in Caenorhabditis, leading to complex gene structural variation and diversified functions affecting growth and development within and among Caenorhabditis species. In summary, our findings outline the evolution of F-box genes in the Caenorhabditis genome and lay the foundation for future functional studies.
