DNA methylation enables recurrent endogenization of giant viruses in an animal relative

L. A. Sarre, I. V. Kim, V. Ovchinnikov, M. Olivetta, H. Suga, O. Dudin, A. Sebe-Pedros, A. de Mendoza

The paper shows that DNA methylation in Amoebidium appalachense silences endogenized giant viruses, contributing 14% of its genes and revealing a dynamic process of viral integration and purging.

Life cycle-coupled evolution of mitosis in close relatives of animals

H. Shah, M. Olivetta, C. Bhickta, P. Ronchi, M. Trupinic, E. C. Tromer, I. M. Tolic, Y. Schwab, O. Dudin, G. Dey

The paper investigates mitotic strategies in Ichthyosporea, showing divergence towards fungal-like closed or animal-like open mitosis, with multinucleated life cycles favoring closed mitosis.

The nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio drives cellularization in the close animal relative Sphaeroforma arctica

M. Olivetta, O. Dudin

This study shows that the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio drives cellularization in Sphaeroforma arctica, suggesting this mechanism predates animal multicellularity.
