DNA Repair Repertoire of the Enigmatic Hydra
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Since its discovery by Abraham Trembley in 1744, hydra has been a popular research organism. Features like spectacular regeneration capacity, peculiar tissue dynamics, continuous pattern formation, unique evolutionary position, and an apparent lack of ...

Evolution of hydra, a recently evolved testis-expressed gene with nine alternative first exons in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2007 We describe here the Drosophila gene hydra that appears to have originated de novo in the melanogaster subgroup and subsequently evolved in both structure and expression level in Drosophila melanogaster and its sibling species. D.

Laboratory test methods to determine the degradation of plastics in marine environmental conditions
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 In this technology report, three test methods were developed to characterize the degradation of plastic in marine environment. The aim was to outline a test methodology to measure the physical and biological degradation in different habitats where ...

Generic injuries are sufficient to induce ectopic Wnt organizers in Hydra
eLife, 2021 During whole-body regeneration, a bisection injury can trigger two different types of regeneration. To understand the transcriptional regulation underlying this adaptive response, we characterized transcript abundance and chromatin accessibility during ...

Incorporation of a horizontally transferred gene into an operon during cnidarian evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Genome sequencing has revealed examples of horizontally transferred genes, but we still know little about how such genes are incorporated into their host genomes. We have previously reported the identification of a gene (flp) that appears to have entered

Multiple neuronal networks coordinate Hydra mechanosensory behavior
eLife, 2021 Hydra vulgaris is an emerging model organism for neuroscience due to its small size, transparency, genetic tractability, and regenerative nervous system; however, fundamental properties of its sensorimotor behaviors remain unknown.
