The paper identifies H3K27me3's dual role in regulating transposons and cell type-specific genes in choanoflagellates, suggesting ancestral chromatin mechanisms in development.

The SAFE Labs Handbook provides thirty commitments for improving lab culture, developed by group leaders and rated by researchers, showing high importance but low implementation rates.

This study characterizes the genome and single-cell transcriptome of Hydractinia, revealing that its stem cells use a conserved gene toolkit shared with all animals.

This study investigates SoxB-driven neurogenesis in the cnidarian Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, showing sequential SoxB gene action and defects upon knockdown.

The paper shows that neurons and secretory cells in Nematostella vectensis develop from a common progenitor pool marked by NvSoxB(2).

This study shows that Lsd1 is essential for neural cell differentiation in Nematostella vectensis, suggesting ancient chromatin regulation in animal development.
