Deep conservation of cis-regulatory elements and chromatin organization in echinoderms uncover ancestral regulatory features of animal genomes

The paper studies regulatory genome evolution in echinoderms, revealing deep conservation of cis-regulatory elements and chromatin organization, suggesting an ancestral regulatory pattern in animal genomes.

Single Nucleus Profiling Highlights the All-Brain Echinoderm Nervous System

The paper uses single-nucleus transcriptomics to analyze post-metamorphic sea urchin cell types, revealing an all-brain organization and homologues of vertebrate neuronal genes.

Molecular evidence for pre-chordate origins of ovarian cell types and neuroendocrine control of reproduction

The paper uses sea star ovaries to identify conserved ovarian cell types and an endocrine system, suggesting pre-chordate origins of these features in vertebrates.

The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) genome provides insights into extremelongevity

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of the Greenland shark and identifies genomic features associated with its extreme longevity.

Integrative multi-omics increase resolution of the sea urchin posterior gut gene regulatory network at single cell level

The paper integrates multi-omics data to refine the gene regulatory network of the sea urchin posterior gut at the single-cell level.

Active DNA demethylation of developmental cis-regulatory regions predates vertebrate origins

The paper investigates 5hmC and TET enzyme function in non-vertebrate deuterostomes, showing conserved 5mC removal from regulatory regions across species.

Single cell RNA sequencing of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus larva reveals the blueprint of major cell types and nervous system of a non-chordate deuterostome

The paper uses scRNA-seq to identify cell types in sea urchin larvae, revealing neuronal and gene regulatory networks with evolutionary implications.
