This study examines the combinatorial Wnt signaling patterns in brachiopod embryos, identifying conserved and variable gene expression across the anteroposterior axis.

The paper presents genome assemblies for three Platynereis species to support comparative genomic studies and explore their biology.

The paper shows that the cephalic furrow in fly embryos evolved to prevent mechanical instabilities during gastrulation by absorbing compressive stresses.

The paper decodes the compact genome of Dimorphilus gyrociliatus, revealing a conservative route to genome compaction with features similar to vertebrates.

The paper describes the cell lineage and molecular patterning in the bryozoan Membranipora membranacea, showing that blastomere fates are conserved despite a shift from spiral to biradial cleavage.

This study examines Hox gene clusters in brachiopods, finding they are not expressed collinearly and are linked to lophotrochozoan morphological features.
