First chromosome-level genome assembly of the colonial chordate model <i>Botryllus schlosseri</i> (Tunicata) Open
Background Botryllus schlosseri (Tunicata) is a colonial, laboratory model tunicate recognized for its remarkable developmental diversity, its regenerative abilities, and its peculiar genetically determined allorecognition system governed …

Chromosome-scale genome assembly and gene annotation of the hydrothermal vent annelid<i>Alvinella pompejana</i>yield insight into animal evolution in extreme environments Open
The types of genomic change needed for environmental adaptation are of great interest. Annelid worms are a large phylum found in a rich diversity of habitats, giving opportunities to explore this issue. We report the chromosome level genom…

First chromosome-level genome assembly of the colonial tunicate<i>Botryllus schlosseri</i> Open
Botryllus schlosseri (Tunicata) is a colonial chordate that has long been studied for its multiple developmental pathways and regenerative abilities and its genetically determined allorecognition system based on a polymorphic locus that co…

The Mediterranean mussel <i>Mytilus galloprovincialis</i> : a novel model for developmental studies in mollusks Open
A model organism in developmental biology is defined by its experimental amenability and by resources created for the model system by the scientific community. For the most powerful invertebrate models, the combination of both has already …

A <i>wnt2</i> ortholog in the sea urchin <i>Paracentrotus lividus</i> Open
Summary Members of the wnt gene family encode secreted glycoproteins that mediate critical intercellular communications in metazoans. Large‐scale genome and transcriptome analyses have shown that this family is composed of 13 distinct subf…

The genome of the jellyfish <i>Clytia hemisphaerica</i> and the evolution of the cnidarian life-cycle Open
Jellyfish (medusae) are a distinctive life-cycle stage of medusozoan cnidarians. They are major marine predators, with integrated neurosensory, muscular and organ systems. The genetic foundations of this complex form are largely unknown. W…
