Programmed DNA elimination (PDE) is a notable exception to the paradigm of genome integrity. In metazoa, PDE often occurs coincident with germline to somatic cell differentiation. During PDE, portions of genomic DNA are lost, resulting in reduced somatic genomes. Prior studies have described the sequences lost and chromosome behavior during metazoan PDE. However, a system for studying the mechanisms and consequences of PDE in metazoa is lacking. Here, we present a functional and genetic model for PDE in the free-living Rhabditidae nematode Oscheius tipulae, a family which includes Caenorhabditis elegans. O. tipulae was recently suggested to eliminate DNA. Using staged embryos and DNA FISH, we show that O. tipulae PDE occurs during embryogenesis at the 8–16 cell stages. We identified a conserved motif, named Sequence For Elimination (SFE), for all 12 break sites on the six chromosomes at the junction of retained and eliminated DNA. SFE mutants exhibit a “fail-to-eliminate” phenotype only at the modified sites. END-seq revealed that breaks can occur at multiple positions within the SFE, with extensive end resection followed by telomere addition to both retained and eliminated ends. We identified many functional SFEs at the chromosome ends through END-seq in the wild-type embryos, genome sequencing of SFE mutants, and comparative genomics of 23 wild isolates. We suggest these alternative SFEs provide flexibility in the sequences eliminated and a fail-safe mechanism for PDE. These studies establish O. tipulae as a new, attractive model to study the mechanisms and consequences of PDE in a metazoan. Genetic and molecular analyses in the free-living nematode Oscheius tipulae by Dockendorff, Estrem, et al. demonstrate an essential role of a conserved motif for DNA break and a fail-safe mechanism for programmed DNA elimination (PDE). This work establishes O. tipulae as a new genetic model to study mechanisms and consequences of PDE in a metazoan.
