The paper analyzes genomic data from 32 animal species to explore how changes in regulatory genes and microRNAs relate to morphological complexity and disparity, finding no link between genome size and disparity but strong associations between gene loss and parasitism, and microRNA increases and complexity.

This study investigates the sensory responses of the acoel Symsagittifera roscoffensis to chemical and temperature stimuli, finding avoidance behaviors to increased temperature and high salinity.

MirGeneDB 3.0 updates the microRNA gene database with expanded species coverage, refined nomenclature, and improved covariance models for phylogenetic analysis.

The paper assembles and annotates the genome of Symsagittifera roscoffensis to study its phylogenetic position and molecular mechanisms of symbiosis.

This study uses single-cell transcriptomics to identify ten major cell-type categories in the acoel Isodiametra pulchra, revealing both shared and clade-specific molecular markers.

The paper characterizes bHLH transcription factors in the acoel S. roscoffensis and identifies their roles in neurogenesis.
