Development and patterning of a highly versatile visual system in spiders

The paper characterizes visual system development in eight spider species to understand how diverse eye configurations arise and evolve.

An atlas of spider development at single-cell resolution provides new insights into arthropod embryogenesis

The paper constructs a single-cell RNA sequencing atlas of spider embryos, revealing cell clusters, gene expression patterns, and developmental insights into arthropod embryogenesis.

Widespread retention of ohnologs in key developmental gene families following whole genome duplication in arachnopulmonates

The paper examines retention of ohnologs in developmental gene families across arachnopulmonate species, finding extensive retention and evolutionary patterns in Hox, Wnt, and frizzled genes.

The evolution of Sox gene repertoires and regulation of segmentation in arachnids

This study examines Sox gene repertoires and regulation of segmentation in arachnids, finding Sox21b-1 plays distinct roles in prosomal and opisthosomal segmentation.

The house spider genome reveals an ancient whole-genome duplication during arachnid evolution

The paper analyzes the house spider genome to identify an ancient whole-genome duplication shared by spiders and scorpions, distinct from horseshoe crab duplications.
