Terminal selector and subtype selector function across 200 million years of nematode evolution

Yasmin H. Ramadan, Curtis M. Loer, Hyunsoo Yim, Luke T Geiger, Daniel M. Merritt, Itai Antoine Toker, Joke Evenblij, Hanh Witte, Steven J. Cook, Ralf J. Sommer, Oliver Hobert

The paper compares terminal and subtype selectors in two nematode species to study neuronal evolution over 200 million years, finding conservation and novelty in regulatory programs.

Functional analysis of conserved C. elegans bHLH family members uncovers lifespan control by a peptidergic hub neuron

G. Robert Aguilar, Berta Vidal, Hongzhu Ji, Joke Evenblij, Hongfei Ji, Giulio Valperga, Chien‐Po Liao, Christopher M. Fang-Yen, Oliver Hobert

The paper identifies the role of C. elegans bHLH genes in specifying neuron identity and function, revealing that hlh-15/NHLH controls lifespan through neuropeptide secretion in AVK neurons.
