The paper identifies an ancient, structurally conserved allorecognition gene complex in cnidarians, showing homology to the MHC and structural similarity through protein prediction.

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for Podocoryna americana, revealing gene family expansions and contractions compared to other cnidarians.

This study identifies two distinct species of Mnemiopsis in the US Atlantic coast using genomic analysis, revealing divergence driven by Pleistocene climate transitions and oceanographic changes.

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presents a chromosome-level genome assembly and functional genomic resources for Capitella teleta, improving upon an outdated reference and enabling better analysis of multi-omic data.

The paper updates and spatially validates a somatic single-cell atlas of Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, identifying new cell types and developmental trajectories.

The paper introduces a zebrafish transgenic line to profile endothelial cell translatomes in vivo, revealing novel genes and expression signatures across adult organs.

This study characterizes the genome and single-cell transcriptome of Hydractinia, revealing that its stem cells use a conserved gene toolkit shared with all animals.

This study shows that random genomic 6mA accumulation in early Hydractinia embryos delays zygotic transcription initiation by inhibiting gene expression.

This study shows that senescent cell signals reprogram somatic cells into stem cells, enabling whole-body regeneration in cnidarians.

This study identifies an XX/XY sex determination system in the cnidarian Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, establishing it as a model for studying sex determination in non-bilaterian animals.

The paper identifies a family of immunoglobulin superfamily genes in the cnidarian Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, showing they are homologous to vertebrate histocompatibility genes and suggest an ancient origin of V-set domains.

This study generates new Hydra genomes and transcriptomic resources to uncover conserved transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in cnidarians.

This study investigates SoxB-driven neurogenesis in the cnidarian Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, showing sequential SoxB gene action and defects upon knockdown.
