Transgenesis enables mapping of segmental ganglia in the leech Helobdella austinensis

Dian‐Han Kuo, Lidia Szczupak, David A. Weisblat, Enrique Leo Portiansky, Christopher J. Winchell, Jun-Ru Lee, Fu-Yu Tsai

This study uses transgenesis in leeches to map segmental ganglia and finds variation in neuron numbers across species.

Acceleration of genome rearrangement in clitellate annelids

Darrin T. Schultz, Elizabeth Heath-Heckman, Christopher J. Winchell, Dian‐Han Kuo, Yun-Sang Yu, Fabian Oberauer, Kevin M. Kocot, Sung–Jin Cho, Oleg Simakov, David A. Weisblat

The paper compares 12 clitellate genomes and 11 outgroup representatives to show that genome rearrangements in Clitellata began at their base and significantly shaped the Hox cluster evolution.
