The paper identifies two genes within a chromosomal inversion supergene in deer mice that contribute to forest adaptation traits and shows the supergene evolved through sequential allele accumulation.

This study identifies a conserved Hox-Gbx gene module in the rice coral Montipora capitata that patterns the endo-mesoderm into segments, similar to its role in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis.

The paper reports chromosome-level genome assemblies of two sea anemones and finds conserved chromosomal blocks across cnidarians and bilaterians, but loss of microsynteny in Hox and NK clusters.

This paper introduces an electroporation method for efficient shRNA delivery in Nematostella vectensis to enable rapid gene knockdown.

This paper develops a simple and adaptable chromosome preparation protocol for invertebrates, enabling karyotyping and downstream applications in species lacking cell lines.
