An ancient anthozoan protein reveals an alternative evolutionary path of antiviral signaling

Ton Sharoni, Adrian Jaimes‐Becerra, Sydney Birch…·Yehu Moran

The paper identifies CARDIB, an ancient anthozoan protein that represses immune genes but is essential for antiviral activation, revealing an alternative evolutionary path of antiviral signaling.

Phototactic preference and its genetic basis in the planulae of the colonial hydrozoan Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus

Sydney Birch, Lindy McGee, Curtis Provencher…·David C. Plachetzki

The paper investigates phototactic behavior in planulae of Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus and identifies genes and neural structures involved in light sensing and settlement decisions.
