This study identifies sex-biased genes and DMRT paralogs in the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus metropolitanus, revealing insights into sexual dimorphism and stress tolerance mechanisms.

This study analyzes the transcriptome of Hypsibius exemplaris exposed to bleomycin, identifying tardigrade-specific gene families and tryptophan metabolism pathway enrichment linked to stress tolerance.

The paper investigates spidroin sequences and gene expression in Darwin's bark spider and its relative, finding that while spidroin genes are conserved, higher expression in Darwin's bark spider contributes to its tougher silk.

The paper uses genome editing to show that calcium signaling pathways, specifically calmodulin-calcineurin-NFAT and calmodulin-calmodulin kinase-CREB, play distinct roles in anhydrobiosis in Pv11 cells.

The paper identifies the multicomponent nature of spider dragline silk and shows that its mechanical properties arise from the combination of specific spidroin and SpiCE proteins.

This study identifies a novel Mn-dependent peroxidase involved in tardigrade anhydrobiosis through transcriptomic and crystallographic analyses.

The paper compares the genomes of two tardigrade species to investigate their evolutionary relationships and mechanisms of extreme survival.

The paper describes a method to sequence the genome of a single tardigrade using an ultra-low input library protocol to reduce contamination.
