Journal ArticleDOI

The Trichoplax genome and the nature of placozoans

TL;DR: Despite the apparent cellular and organismal simplicity of Trichoplax, its genome encodes a rich array of transcription factor and signalling pathway genes that are typically associated with diverse cell types and developmental processes in eumetazoans, motivating further searches for cryptic cellular complexity and/or as yet unobserved life history stages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early origins and evolution of microRNAs and Piwi-interacting RNAs in animals

TL;DR: This work identifies small RNAs from animal phyla that diverged before the emergence of the Bilateria, a close relative of the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis (starlet sea anemone), which possesses an extensive repertoire of miRNA genes, two classes of piRNAs and a complement of proteins specific to small-RNA biology comparable to that of humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anatomy and development of the nervous system of Nematostella vectensis, an anthozoan cnidarian.

TL;DR: Early neurons and stem cell populations identified with NvMsi, NvELAV, and NvGCM, indicate that neural differentiation occurs throughout the animal and initiates prior to the conclusion of gastrulation.
