One really has to watch them - I look away for just one moment, and boom! - Paul Knabl is a co-author on a new cell atlas paper by Dr. Alison G. Cole, Ulrich Technau Lab et al. Congratulations to everyone involved! Have a read: frontiersinzoology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Fantastic Master thesis defense by Antonia Grausgruber Roger Revilla-i-Domingo today. Amazing work on unicellular holozoans that opens a whole new chapter in the Revilla Lab. Thanks also to the Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo for the great support in this adventure!


#PreprintAlert🚨Please share. Our latest #Ichthyosporean #EvoDevo story, led by M. Olivetta Chandni Bhickta nicolas chiaruttini & in co. with @burnsajohn. **𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 #𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝘆𝗼** LINK ➡️tinyurl.com/MultiCSg Buckle up for a LONG 🧵(sorry)

Transgenic sea urchins are here. Kudos to Elliot Jackson Evan Tjeerdema 🐚 Svenja Kling and rest of the team for the hard work to make this happen!


Germ cells in #Hydractinia emit a BMP signal that patterns the gonad. The resulting developed gonad induces new germ cells that, in turn, maintain the gonad. New work by urifranklab.org Curantz camille, Helen Horkan, TimDuBuc et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My recent work with Genikhovich Group is now online as #preprint! I examined the mechanisms behind #BMP signaling in the secondary body axis patterning of the anthozoan cnidarian Nematostella (sea anemone). biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Below a short teaser.

Here our latest, a thorough description of the state of the (key) field of “Acoel Neurobiology” With simon-sprecher.bsky.social , Xavier Bailly and Volker Hartenstein. neuraldevelopment.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

So happy to see our brittle star genome led by 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘆 finally published in NatureEcoEvo highlighting the evolution of echinoderm chromosomes as well as the origin of the regeneration programm nature.com/articles/s4155…

Happy to share our new preprint with David Mörsdorf and Genikhovich Group on #BMP signaling in Cnidaria. Check it out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Our short report on a remarkable feature of #ctenophores out now: Reverse development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis. We show that Mnemiopsis is capable of reversal from mature lobate to early cydippid🤩. Michael Sars Centre Universitetet i Bergen bioRxiv #rejuvenation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


What if you could deliver molecular tools directly into oocytes without microinjection? In our new paper, online today Development (doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…), we introduce VitelloTag, a new cargo delivery tool to enable injection-free genome editing. 👇Read on for a short 🧵


Dr Alex Klimovich alex_klimovich made a wonderful recording of ascidian Ciona intestinalis pumpling seawater during filter feeding. Helgoland, North Sea.

📢 I’m hiring a 3yr postdoc Interested in evolutionary origins of miRNA/RNAi in animals? Keen on working with early branching metazoans and unicellular relatives? Please join my lab 🧬 MBA - Marine Biological Association ⏳Deadline 25th October 2024 ℹ️ Details: jobs.ac.uk/job/DJW823/pos… Please RT!
