Pleased to share new insights on the #ctenophore life cycle out now in @PNASNews, done with @UF and @Whitney_Lab coauthors Mark Q. Martindale and @josemiponciano and useful for researchers, ecologists, fisheries managers. A thread: 🧵 1/11
A small live ctenophore of the species Mnemiopsis leidyi in lateral view. It is a transparent marine jelly with two tentacles at this life stage.

Lastly, to validate if any of these pmar1 copies retain their function in specifying skeletogenic fate, @JaneSSwart overexpressed several paralogs from each species in L. variegatus embryos -- Lv and Ht copies convert cell fates, He does not! (12/n)

Can early developmental networks rapidly change, or are they evolutionarily constrained due to their importance for critical embryonic processes? We address this question by comparing early gene networks in sea urchins, now out in @NatureEcoEvo 🧵(1/n)! nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

First things first, this study was a huge group effort from the Wray Lab @DukeBiology (on twitter: @JaneSSwart @_AEdgar_ @alebescobar ), the Byrne Lab at University of Sydney (@ProfMariaByrne), and @BGI_Genomics . Check out @alebescobar's awesome thread on this as well! (2/n)

Our latest paper is out @CurrentBiology ! The ctenophore-specific novel protein "CTENO189" is necessary for asymmetric ciliary beating and beautiful metaclonal waves in the ctenophore! authors.elsevier.com/c/1fySt…

There is no reasonable limit to the amount of time you can spend looking at comb jellies.

Darrin Schultz uses chromosome-scale genomes, gene linkages, and fusion-mixing chromosome events to test the sponge/ctenophore first animal hypothesis. With this new approach, ctenophore-sister hypothesis wins 😱😱. #icim5 ⁦@5Icim⁩

So I have been playing with some 3D imaging of our Comb Jellies recently. I was surprised to see how much detail of the internal structure of the animal showed up in our image! So how did we do it?
