Comparative Hox genes expression within the dimorphic annelidStreblospio benedicti reveals patterning variation during development

The paper compares Hox gene expression in two larval types of Streblospio benedicti to identify developmental divergence associated with morphological differences.

The role of heterochronic gene expression and regulatory architecture in early developmental divergence

The paper identifies gene expression changes and regulatory mechanisms underlying developmental divergence in the annelid Streblospio benedicti using RNAseq across ontogeny.

Maternal patterns of inheritance alter transcript expression in eggs

The paper investigates how variation in maternal mRNA provisioning affects developmental programs in eggs of the species Streblospio benedicti, finding parent-of-origin and allele-specific effects on gene expression.

The genome of the poecilogonous annelid Streblospio benedicti

This paper presents the first chromosomal-level genome assembly of Streblospio benedicti, revealing insights into its genomic basis for developmental divergence without genome duplication.
