The paper investigates ZGA timing across 61 animal species and finds that genome size to cytoplasm volume ratio predicts ZGA onset.

The paper shows that BMP signaling is downstream of ERK1/2 in Spiralia and is involved in dorsoventral development, but this hierarchy is lost in annelids with autonomous development.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly and functional genomic resources for Capitella teleta, improving upon an outdated reference and enabling better analysis of multi-omic data.

The paper demonstrates autonomous neural specification for brain and ventral nerve cord in two annelid species, suggesting conservation of this mechanism within Annelida.

The paper compares transcriptomic dynamics in two annelid species with spiral cleavage, showing differences in embryonic organizer specification timing but similarity later in development.

This study investigates histone-based chromatin regulation in Annelida using multi-omics approaches, revealing lineage-specific effects on histone repertoires and functional implications of histone variants.

The paper analyzes methylomes in annelids to show ancestral epigenetic erosion during development and aging, with gene body methylation linked to transcription and TE silencing.

This study characterizes neural development in Owenia fusiformis, revealing the formation and reorganization of its nervous system during development and metamorphosis.

The paper shows that temporal shifts in trunk formation underpin larval diversification in annelids and bilaterian life cycles through comparative genomic and transcriptomic analysis.

The paper identifies ERK1/2-mediated FGF signaling as an ancestral organizing signal in spiral cleavage, showing it is conserved in conditional annelids but lost in autonomous ones.

This study describes the embryonic and larval development of Owenia fusiformis, identifying key developmental stages and highlighting the complexity of its nervous system formation.

The paper decodes the compact genome of Dimorphilus gyrociliatus, revealing a conservative route to genome compaction with features similar to vertebrates.
