Chromatin profiling identifies putative dual roles for H3K27me3 in regulating transposons and cell type specific genes in choanoflagellates

James M. Gahan, Lily W. Helfrich, Laura A. Wetzel…·David Scott Booth

The paper identifies H3K27me3's dual role in regulating transposons and cell type-specific genes in choanoflagellates, suggesting ancestral chromatin mechanisms in development.

Glycosyltransferases promote development and prevent promiscuous cell aggregation in the choanoflagellate S. rosetta

Laura A. Wetzel, Tera C. Levin, Ryan E. Hulett…·Nicole King

The paper identifies glycosyltransferase mutations causing defective rosette development and promiscuous cell aggregation in S. rosetta, suggesting an ancient role in development and multicellularity regulation.
