Stage-specific transcriptomics of a leader cell reveals cell machineries driving collective invasion

Priti Agarwal, Iska Maimon, Hila Gingold, Victor Stolzenbach, Sarit Anava, Olga Antonova, Erin J. Cram, Oded Rechavi, Ronen Zaidel‐Bar

The paper presents a stage-specific transcriptomic dataset of C. elegans distal tip cells, identifying molecular programs driving leader cell invasion and revealing new genes involved in this process.

Neuronal oversight of germline small RNAs prevents heat-induced sterility in lab-domesticated Caenorhabditis elegans

Chee Kiang Ewe, Hanna Achache, Shir Weiss, Anna Mogilevskaya, Myriam Valenski, Guy Teichman, Sarit Anava, Hila Gingold, Rachel Posner, Olga Antonova, Yonatan B. Tzur, Oded Rechavi

The paper shows neuronal small RNAs protect germline integrity and prevent heat-induced sterility in lab Caenorhabditis elegans by modulating thermotolerance and countering domestication effects.

Transgenerational Regulation of Sexual Attractiveness in C. elegans Nematodes

Itai Antoine Toker, Itamar Lev, Yael Mor, Yael Gurevich, Doron Fisher, Leah Houri-Zeevi, Olga Antonova, Hila Doron, Sarit Anava, Hila Gingold, Lilach Hadany, Shai Shaham, Oded Rechavi

The paper shows that inherited small RNAs in C. elegans regulate sexual attraction and outcrossing rates across generations, influencing population genetics under stress.

Three Rules Explain Transgenerational Small RNA Inheritance in C. elegans

Leah Houri-Zeevi, Yael Korem Kohanim, Olga Antonova, Oded Rechavi

The paper identifies three inheritance rules governing transgenerational small RNA responses in C. elegans and shows they predict developmental rate and stress resistance.

Germ Granules Functions are Memorized by Transgenerationally Inherited Small RNAs

Itamar Lev, Itai Antoine Toker, Yael Mor, Anat Nitzan, Guy Weintraub, Olga Antonova, Ornit Bhonkar, Itay Ben Shushan, Uri Seroussi, Julie M. Claycomb, Sarit Anava, Hila Gingold, Ronen Zaidel‐Bar, Oded Rechavi

The paper shows that transgenerational small RNA inheritance in C. elegans can occur independently of germ granules in some mutants, but depends on ancestral germ granule function and HRDE-1.
