This paper identifies and classifies cis-regulatory elements in Parhyale hawaiensis using Omni-ATAC-Seq and RNA-Seq, revealing dynamic regulatory features during embryonic development.

This study identifies Polycomb Group proteins in crustaceans and shows they regulate Hox genes differently than in insects, revealing distinct regulatory mechanisms in body plan evolution.

The paper investigates Hox gene cross-regulatory interactions in Parhyale hawaiensis, revealing combinatorial Hox gene function rather than posterior prevalence in specifying appendage identity.

The paper sequenced embryonic transcriptomes of cave, surface, and hybrid Asellus aquaticus to identify differentially expressed genes and allele-specific expression in hybrids, aiding in understanding genetic divergence between cave and surface forms.
