This study generates new Hydra genomes and transcriptomic resources to uncover conserved transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in cnidarians.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze zebrafish ovarian cells, identifying novel cell subpopulations and gene functions involved in ovarian development.

This study uses RNAseq to identify genes differentially regulated by Notch signaling inhibition in Hydra, revealing roles in nematocyte development and head organizer formation.

This study shows the PIWI-piRNA pathway represses transposable elements in Hydra epithelial stem cells, preventing genomic damage and maintaining tissue integrity.

This study maps stem cell differentiation trajectories in Hydra using single-cell transcriptomics, revealing shared progenitor states for neurons and gland cells and creating a gene expression map of the nervous system.

The paper reanalyzes two studies comparing gene expression across species, showing that pairwise comparisons can mislead conclusions about evolutionary processes by ignoring species relationships.

The paper uses transcriptome and genome data to analyze phylogenetic relationships within Cnidaria, supporting traditional groupings and resolving deep evolutionary relationships.

This study describes the cellular anatomy of Nanomia bijuga zooids, revealing specialized cell types and epithelial diversity.

This study identifies stem cell distribution and proliferation patterns in Nanomia bijuga, showing their localization in growth zones and their role in colony development.
