The paper develops a CRISPR/Cas9-based method for efficient fluorescent protein knock-in in sea urchins by using a split-fluorescent protein strategy, achieving higher integration efficiency than conventional methods.

This study develops an automated high-throughput HCR pipeline to rapidly map expression of 101 genes in sea urchin embryos, enabling large-scale discovery of novel developmental gene expression patterns.

This paper establishes the first germline transgenic sea urchin using the Minos transposon, enabling stable transgene integration and inheritance.

The paper reassesses the association between densoviruses and Sea Star Wasting Syndrome by analyzing metagenomic and transcriptomic data, finding SSaDV is one of many densoviruses present in sea stars, not the sole cause of the syndrome.
