Join us for the next Cnidozoom seminar, TOMORROW @ 12p Eastern.

We're excited to hear from our speakers! Eudald Pascual will tell us about stem cell dynamics in Nematostella and Yamini Ravichandran will share new insights into Hydra regeneration.

A really nice and accessible summary by Isabella Cisneros in preLights of what our #Hydractinia genome sequencing and analysis efforts have uncovered - especially that Hydractinia uses a shared gene toolkit found in almost all animals. Check it out!

It is great to have this report out and to put a bow on Cnidofest 2022! James Gahan - thanks for your huge efforts on this and thanks to the entire organizing committee for a stellar experience from start to finish. Dr. Christy Schnitzler Paulyn Cartwright Patrick Steinmetz and Matt Nicotra!

Last year's Cnidofest was a huge success with tons of brilliant talks. If you were not able to attend, read all about it in the meeting report in EvoDevo : rdcu.be/dklue
Thanks to James Gahan and Juliano Lab for having taken the lead on writing this!

Very happy to now see the meeting report I wrote for Cnidofest 2002 out in EvoDevo! Of course, I didn't write this alone but along with the organizers Juliano Lab Dr. Christy Schnitzler Patrick Steinmetz Paulyn Cartwright and Matt Nicotra.

Dear #Nematostella people,
Do we have a clear and consensus nomenclature for gene/transcript/protein naming?

My gene name: Clock is redundant with the name of the pacemaker, clock. It's confusing.

Would clk/Nvclk be acceptable? Any idea?
