This study compares transposable elements across jellyfish and hydroid species, finding variation in TE content and activity that correlates with lineage divergence.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of Bougainvillia cf. muscus, revealing synteny with other cnidarians and insights into vision-related gene evolution.

This study uses multi-omics data to identify signaling pathways and transposable elements involved in Hydra head regeneration.

The paper assembles the genome of Steinernema carpocapsae using long-read sequencing and optical mapping, identifies the X-chromosome, and provides gene annotations for comparative genomic studies.

The paper identifies dynamic enhancer-like elements and transcription factor motifs involved in Hydra head regeneration, suggesting complex gene regulatory structures evolved before cnidarians and bilaterians diverged.
