The paper compares scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq in Praesagittifera naikaiensis, finding snRNA-seq better recovers neural transcripts and reduces symbiont reads.

The paper uses multi-omics profiling to show geographic structuring in the gut microbiome of Japanese jack mackerel despite panmictic host genetics.

The paper establishes and maintains genetically controlled, closed ascidian colonies to improve experimental reproducibility in non-model organisms.

This study shows that dorsoventral contact is necessary for Shh induction in axolotl limb regeneration, with dorsal and ventral signals driving pattern formation.

The paper identifies Epi-1 as a tunicate-specific protein essential for making the larval tunic hydrophilic in Ciona intestinalis, preventing adhesion.

The paper identifies stimulatory and inhibitory G-protein signaling relays that regulate cAMP accumulation, ensuring timely metamorphosis in Ciona larvae.

The paper presents a new genome assembly for Hydra viridissima, a symbiotic hydrozoan, with improved continuity and gene annotations compared to previous assemblies.
