Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2021 In eukaryotes, trans-splicing is a process of nuclear pre-mRNA maturation where two different RNA molecules are joined together by the spliceosomal machinery utilizing mechanisms similar to cis-splicing.

STAR Protocols, 2023 Summary: A substance that sexualizes planarians, an ancestral group of parasitic flatworms, is widely present in planarians and parasitic flatworms. Here, we present a protocol for extracting and purifying the active fraction with sex-inducing activity ...

Fossil constraints on the origin and evolution of Platyhelminthes are surprisingly concordant with modern molecular phylogenies [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba)Trace fossils preserved with fossil worm-shaped remains suggest the presence of free-living flatworms during the Ordovician at the latest and their occurrence in terrestrial environments during the Permian.

A new substrate for sampling deep river macroinvertebrates [PDF]
, 2009 We compared macroinvertebrate communities colonising multiplate samplers constructed from perspex or tempered hardboard (wood) with an alternative artificial substrate constructed from folded coconut fibre matting (coir) enclosed in nylon netting ...

Shape mode analysis exposes movement patterns in biology: flagella and flatworms as case studies
, 2014 We illustrate shape mode analysis as a simple, yet powerful technique to concisely describe complex biological shapes and their dynamics. We characterize undulatory bending waves of beating flagella and reconstruct a limit cycle of flagellar oscillations,

Use of freeze-cracking in ontogenetic research in Macrostomum lignano (Macrostomida, Rhabditophora) [PDF]
, 2009 A method for studying whole mount flatworm embryos based on freeze-cracking of the eggs is described. This method allows successful immunohistological and immunocytological studies of whole mount embryos.

Food webs in forest and pasture streams in the Waikato region, New Zealand: A study based on analyses of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, and fish gut contents. [PDF]
, 1997 Stable isotopes of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) were studied in 11 stream communities in the Waikato region of New Zealand. From comparisons of mean d13C and d15N values, food webs in the shaded, forest streams were clearly based on allochthonous material

Transcriptional signatures of somatic neoblasts and germline cells in Macrostomum lignano
eLife, 2016 The regeneration-capable flatworm Macrostomum lignano is a powerful model organism to study the biology of stem cells in vivo. As a flatworm amenable to transgenesis, it complements the historically used planarian flatworm models, such as Schmidtea ...
