A chromosome-level assembly and functional genomic resources for the model annelid Capitella teleta

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly and functional genomic resources for Capitella teleta, improving upon an outdated reference and enabling better analysis of multi-omic data.

Evidence of autonomous neural specification for both brain and ventral nerve cord tissue in Annelida

The paper demonstrates autonomous neural specification for brain and ventral nerve cord in two annelid species, suggesting conservation of this mechanism within Annelida.

Capitella teleta gets left out: Possible evolutionary shift causes loss of left tissues rather than increased neural tissue from dominant-negative BMPR1

The paper investigates BMP signaling in Capitella teleta, finding that dominant-negative BMPR1 causes asymmetric loss of left tissues rather than increasing neural tissue, suggesting evolutionary divergence in CNS development mechanisms.

Role of BMP signaling during early development of the annelid Capitella teleta

This study investigates the role of BMP signaling in early development of the annelid Capitella teleta, identifying three key time windows of BMP activity and suggesting it may have functioned in patterning ectodermal fates along the D-V axis in the last common ancestor of annelids.

Resolving transcriptional states and predicting lineages in the annelid Capitella teleta using single-cell RNAseq

The paper uses single-cell RNAseq to identify cell types and differentiation trajectories in Capitella teleta, revealing novel neurosecretory cell markers and neural differentiation paths.
