Sonawala et al. describe how the HYP genes in plant-parasitic nematodes can harbour thousands of alleles. They elucidate the ‘rules’ underlying variation in the Hyper Variable Domain (HVD) of HYPs, and propose that these data are consistent with a mechanism of somatic genome editing, termed HVD-editing. Juxtaposed to this proposed hidden genetic diversity across its body, the accompanying confocal 3D projection of DAPI- and Phalloidin-labelled pre-parasitic Heterodera schachtii visualises the heterogeneity of the internal tissues.
