This article argues that it is high time not only to acknowledge Wikipedia's quality but also to start actively promoting its use and development in academia.

genomically poorly explored
Poorly studied in some part to its very high degree of heterozygosity. You can get some more insight here, where it was nominated as a "top ten genome" http://www.homolog.us/blogs/blog/2015/05/08/top-ten-genomes-ix-pacific-oyster/
To date 5'-cytosine methylation (5mC) has not been reported in Caenorhabditis elegans, and using ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) the existence of DNA methylation in T. spiralis was detected, making it the first 5mC reported in any species of nematode.
As a novel and potentially controversial finding, the huge amounts of supporting data are depositedhere to assist others to follow on and reproduce the results. This won the BMC Open Data Prize, as the judges were impressed by the numerous extra steps taken by the authors in optimizing the openness and easy accessibility of this data, and were keen to emphasize that the value of open data for such breakthrough science lies not only in providing a resource, but also in conferring transparency to unexpected conclusions that others will naturally wish to challenge.
