The paper shows that voltage-gated sodium channel activity regulates Wnt5 expression in sea urchin larvae, affecting skeletal patterning through spatial control of Wnt5.

ICAT improves identification of cell states after perturbations in single-cell RNA sequencing by using self-supervised feature weighting and control-guided clustering.

This study shows ethanol exposure disrupts skeletal patterning in sea urchin embryos by altering gene expression timing rather than affecting RA or Hh pathways.

This study analyzes the transcriptome of Lytechinus variegatus during embryonic and larval development, identifying four temporally distinct phases of gene expression.
