The paper identifies two distinct origins for neural cells in Clytia planula larva development: one from Piwi/Nanos-expressing interstitial cells and another from ectodermal delamination during gastrulation.

The paper compares cell atlases of Clytia hemisphaerica planula and medusa stages using single-cell transcriptomics to identify stage-specific cell types and their transcriptional profiles.

The paper challenges the statistical validity of syntenies used to support phylogenetic groupings, arguing that current methods overestimate significance and may miss real linkage groups.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Alvinella pompejana and analyzes its gene content to understand adaptations to extreme environments.

The paper examines transcriptional similarities between two neural lineages during ascidian embryogenesis and finds they cluster together despite limited shared transcriptional control.

The paper introduces an R package that automatically generates Oxford grids from genomic files to visualize macrosynteny between species.

The paper presents a whole-animal transcriptomic cell atlas of Clytia hemisphaerica using multiplexed scRNA-seq to study cell type plasticity under starvation.
