Zhu, @zhouqi1982.bsky.social et al. produce a chromosome-level genome assembly of the Amur rat snake (Elaphe schrenckii) using HiFi and Hi-C data (1.69 Gbp; N50 = 215 Mb; 97.4% BUSCO), an important resource for studying snake evolution. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf086 #genome #snake

Our chromosome-scale genome assembly of Nanomia septata, a siphonophore - doi.org/10.1101/2025... . Much larger than many other cnidarian genomes, fewer chromosomes, and highly rearranged. No smoking gun for how they achieve complex colony-level organization. Great work Namrata Ahuja and friends!

New preprint from the @arnausebe.bsky.social lab! 💐 Here @crisnava.bsky.social, @seanamontgomery.bsky.social & collaborators develop a novel ChIPseq protocol, and demonstrate its huge potential to study the evolution of chromatin function and regulation across the eukaryotic tree of life.

We review self-organisation of organizers through the lens of Cnidarians (primarily Hydra and Nematostella) and propose an integrative Mechanochemical view for the same. Happy to be part of the 100 year Mangold-Spemann special edition @cellsdev.bsky.social @ulrichtechnau.bsky.social

About 100 years the Mangold-Spemann organizer was published and this has been one of the most fruitful and inspiring concepts in Developmental Biology. But how can organizers self-organize? In this review we summarize the knowledge how cnidarians do that: doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...

Finally out - our paper on shell field and spicule #EvoDevo in a variety of #mollusks such as #scaphopods, #cephalopods, #aplacophorans, and of course #polyplacophorans. Among others we show evolutionary highly conserved gene expression in aculiferan spicules onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The Hydractinia cell atlas is out. This remarkable animal has those cells, i-cells, that are pluripotent just like mammalian blastocyst inner cell mass. There is a difference, though––inner cell mass cells persist for only a few cell cycles before they differentiate; i-cells are adult cells.
