Ctenophore Tissue Preparation and Extraction of DNA
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2008INTRODUCTIONCtenophores, or comb jellies, are a group of marine animals whose unique biological features and phylogenetic placement make them a key taxon for understanding animal evolution. Some characteristics are present in nearly all ctenophores, including biradial symmetry, comb rows composed of linked cilia, an apical sensory organ, and two ...

The onset of regenerative properties in ctenophores
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2016Ctenophores are a clade of animals that branch off at the base of the animal tree. They have a unique and delicate body plan, and distinct pattern forming mechanisms at different life history stages. They have a stereotyped embryonic cell lineage and are highly 'mosaic' as embryos, but most have amazing capacity to regenerate as adults.

DNA Methylation in Ctenophores
Epigenomic regulation and dynamic DNA methylation, in particular, are widespread mechanisms orchestrating the genome operation across time and species. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) is currently the only method for unbiasedly capturing the presence of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) DNA methylation patterns across an entire genome with single ...Emily C, Dabe +2 more

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1983
Abstract Ctenophores constituted most of the stomach contents of 50 chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta and one chinook salmon O. tshawytscha caught in British Columbia waters during summer 1981. Ctenophore remains are difficult to identify, and such food may be more important to Pacific salmon than hitherto realized. Received February 10, 1983 Accepted June

Illustrated Neuroanatomy of Ctenophores: Immunohistochemistry
Ctenophores or comb jellies are representatives of an enigmatic lineage of early branching metazoans with complex tissue and organ organization. Their biology and even microanatomy are not well known for most of these fragile pelagic and deep-water species.Tigran P, Norekian, Leonid L, Moroz

Recording Cilia Activity in Ctenophores
Pelagic ctenophores swim in the water with the help of eight rows of long fused cilia. Their entire behavioral repertoire is dependent to a large degree on coordinated cilia activity. Therefore, recording cilia beating is paramount to understanding and registering the behavioral responses and investigating its neural and hormonal control.Tigran P, Norekian, Leonid L, Moroz

The development of bioluminescence in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi
Developmental Biology, 1973Abstract The photocytes of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis have a discontinuous distribution along the radial canal between the sites where the comb plate cilia cells are located on the side of the canal which contains the testes. They are separated from the lumen of the canal by a population of gastric cells. Cytologically these cells are characterized by

Electrophysiology of Ctenophore Smooth Muscle
Unlike in the Cnidaria, where muscle cells are coupled together into an epithelium, ctenophore muscles are single, elongated, intramesogleal structures resembling vertebrate smooth muscle. Under voltage-clamp, these fibers can be separated into different classes with different sets of membrane ion channels.Meech, Robert W +2 more

Cilia and the life of ctenophores
Invertebrate Biology, 2014AbstractCtenophores, or comb jellies, are a distinct phylum of marine zooplankton with eight meridional rows of giant locomotory comb plates. Comb plates are the largest ciliary structures known, and provide unique experimental advantages for investigating the biology of cilia.
