Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptome analysis of a cnidarian-dinoflagellate mutualism reveals complex modulation of host gene expression.

TL;DR: This first comprehensive molecular examination of the cnidarian – dinoflagellate associations provides critical insights into the maintenance and regulation of the symbiosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the yellow potato cyst nematode, Globodera rostochiensis, reveals insights into the basis of parasitism and virulence

TL;DR: In this paper, a high quality genome assembly for Globodera rostochiensis was generated, identifying putative effectors and horizontal gene transfer events, map gene expression through the life cycle focusing on key parasitic transitions and sequence the genomes of eight populations including four additional pathotypes to identify variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly conserved caspase and Bcl-2 homologues from the sea anemone Aiptasia pallida: lower metazoans as models for the study of apoptosis evolution.

TL;DR: Two genes from a cnidarian, Aiptasia pallida, are described that are homologous to key genes in the apoptotic pathway from vertebrates, suggesting that the complexity of apoptotic pathways is an ancient trait that predates the evolution of vertebrates and higher invertebrates such as nematodes and flies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Knockdown of actin and caspase gene expression by RNA interference in the symbiotic anemone Aiptasia pallida.

TL;DR: In this article, the reverse-genetics technique RNA interference (RNAi) has been used to examine gene function in vertebrate and invertebrate systems, such as the sea anemone Aiptasia pallida.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analytical approach for selecting normalizing genes from a cDNA microarray platform to be used in q-RT-PCR assays: A cnidarian case study

TL;DR: An effective analytical method is introduced to identify candidate housekeeping genes (HKG) from a sea anemone (Anthopleura elegantissima) cDNA microarray platform that can be used as internal control genes to normalize q-RT-PCR gene expression data.
