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presents a chromosome-level genome assembly and functional genomic resources for Capitella teleta, improving upon an outdated reference and enabling better analysis of multi-omic data.

Regrowing the growth zone: metamorphosis kickstarts regeneration in the annelid, Capitella teleta

This study shows that Capitella teleta larvae can regenerate lost structures only after metamorphosis into juveniles, suggesting metamorphosis enables regeneration.

Regenerative potential varies along the anterior-posterior axis of the annelid Capitella teleta

This study shows that regeneration potential varies along the anterior-posterior axis in Capitella teleta, with posterior fragments regenerating more completely than anterior ones.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling promotes posterior axial regeneration in non-regenerative tissue of the annelid Capitella teleta

This study identifies Wnt/β-catenin signaling as a key factor in promoting posterior axial regeneration in non-regenerative tail fragments of the annelid Capitella teleta.

Investigating the developmental onset of regenerative potential in the annelid Capitella teleta

This study assesses the regenerative potential of annelid larvae, finding they complete early but not late stages of regeneration and can metamorphose into juveniles.

Functional role of pax6 in eye and central nervous system development in the annelid Capitella teleta

This study investigates the functional role of pax6 in eye and central nervous system development in the annelid Capitella teleta, showing conserved roles across species.
