    • A developmental role for the chromatin-regulating CoREST complex in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis 

      Gahan, James Michael; Leclère, Lucas; Hernandez-Valladares, Maria; Rentzsch, Fabian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background Chromatin-modifying proteins are key players in the regulation of development and cell differentiation in animals. Most chromatin modifiers, however, predate the evolution of animal multicellularity, and how ...

    • The localization of Toll and Imd pathway and complement system components and their response to Vibrio infection in the nemertean Lineus ruber 

      Orus Alcalde, Andrea; Børve, Aina; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background Innate immunity is the first line of defense against pathogens. In animals, the Toll pathway, the Imd pathway, the complement system, and lectins are well-known mechanisms involved in innate immunity. Although ...

    • Molecular and morphological analysis of the developing nemertean brain indicates convergent evolution of complex brains in Spiralia 

      Gasiorowski, Ludwik; Børve, Aina; Cherneva, Irina A; Orus Alcalde, Andrea; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background The brain anatomy in the clade Spiralia can vary from simple, commissural brains (e.g., gastrotrichs, rotifers) to rather complex, partitioned structures (e.g., in cephalopods and annelids). How often and in ...

    • Mycobacterium leprae diversity and population dynamics in medieval Europe from novel ancient genomes 

      Pfrengle, Saskia; Neukamm, Judith; Guellil, Meriam; Keller, Marcel; Molak, Martyna; Avanzi, Charlotte; Kushniarevich, Alena; Montes, Núria; Neumann, Gunnar U.; Reiter, Ella; Tukhbatova, Rezeda I.; Berezina, Nataliya Y.; Buzhilova, Alexandra; Korobov, Dmitry S.; Suppersberger Hamre, Stian; Matos, Vitor M. J.; Ferreira, Maria T.; González-Garrido, Laura; Wasterlain, Sofia N.; Lopes, Célia; Santos, Ana Luisa; Antunes-Ferreira, Nathalie; Duarte, Vitória; Silva, Ana Maria; Melo, Linda; Sarkic, Natasa; Saag, Lehti; Tambets, Kristiina; Busso, Philippe; Cole, Stewart T.; Avlasovich, Alexei; Roberts, Charlotte A.; Sheridan, Alison; Cessford, Craig; Robb, John; Krause, Johannes; Scheib, Christiana L.; Inskip, Sarah A.; Schuenemann, Verena J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background Hansen’s disease (leprosy), widespread in medieval Europe, is today mainly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions with around 200,000 new cases reported annually. Despite its long history and appearance ...

    • Some like it hot: population-specific adaptations in venom production to abiotic stressors in a widely distributed cnidarian 

      Sachkova, Maria; Macrander, Jason; Surm, Joachim M.; Aharoni, Reuven; Menard-Harvey, Shelcie S.; Klock, Amy; Leach, Whitney B.; Reitzel, Adam M.; Moran, Yehu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-09)
      Background: In cnidarians, antagonistic interactions with predators and prey are mediated by their venom, whose synthesis may be metabolically expensive. The potentially high cost of venom production has been hypothesized ...
