Developmental genetic response of the zooplanktonic tunicate Oikopleura dioica to marine noise pollution.

This study investigates the molecular response of Oikopleura dioica embryos to underwater noise exposure, finding rapid transcriptomic changes without morphological effects.

Long-Read Sequencing Reveals Increased Isoform Diversity in Key Transcription Factor Effectors of Intercellular Signalling at the Invertebrate-Vertebrate Transition

The paper uses long-read sequencing to compare isoform diversity of key transcription factors in invertebrate and vertebrate species, finding increased diversity in vertebrates.

Downstream effects of the ''Less, but More'' Fgf signaling in Oikopleura dioica: Fgf receptor expansion and RTK pathway simplification.

This study examines the downstream effects of Fgf signaling changes in Oikopleura dioica, showing expanded Fgf receptors and simplified RTK pathways.

CORAL: Accurate annotation of compact genomes using long-read RNA-seq, demonstrated in Oikopleura dioica

CORAL and GAMBA improve genome annotation for compact genomes using long-read RNA-seq, increasing gene count and reducing chimeric predictions in Oikopleura dioica.

Less, but more: new insights from appendicularians on chordate Fgf evolution and the divergence of tunicate lifestyles.

This paper investigates how gene loss and duplication in Fgf subfamilies influenced chordate evolution, particularly in appendicularians, revealing evolutionary patterns and functional shifts.

MULTI-ANCESTRY GENETIC STUDY IN 5,876 PATIENTS IDENTIFIES AN ASSOCIATION BETWEEN EXCITOTOXIC GENES AND EARLY OUTCOMES AFTER ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE

This paper identifies seven genome-wide significant loci associated with early neurological instability after acute ischemic stroke, linking excitotoxic genes to poor outcomes.
