Daily cycle in oxygen consumption by the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis Stephenson

Biology Open, 2016
In bilaterian animals, the circadian clock is intimately involved in regulating energetic metabolism. Although cnidarians exhibit diel behavioral rhythms including cycles in locomotor activity, tentacle extension and spawning, daily cycles in cnidarian ...

Single‐Cell Sequencing: A Sharp Sword for Deciphering Biological Innovations and Evolutionary Adaptations in Lower Vertebrates and Invertebrates

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 4, September 2025.
Single‐cell sequencing sheds light on cellular diversity, development, and immune evolution in fish and invertebrates, offering new insights into environmental adaptation and evolutionary biology. ABSTRACT Single‐cell sequencing (SCS) technology has revolutionized the study of cellular heterogeneity by enabling the exploration of biological processes ...

Expansion of tandem repeats in sea anemone Nematostella vectensis proteome: A source for gene novelty?

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background The complete proteome of the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, provides insights into gene invention dating back to the Cnidarian-Bilaterian ancestor.

Draft genome sequence of Vibrio diabolicus isolated from the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis

Microbiology Resource Announcements
Nematostella vectensis has grown as a model organism for investigating host–bacteria interactions. Here, we report the full genome of Vibrio diabolicus NVE-VD1, an isolate from N. vectensis from the South Carolina Baruch Estuarine Reserve.

Comparative Analysis of Convergent Jellyfish Eyes Reveals Extensive Differences in Expression of Vision‐Related Genes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Eyes have evolved in many different lineages, including several times within jellyfish, yet the relative contributions of shared and lineage‐specific genes to convergent eyes are not known. We find that three long‐diverged species of jellyfish have mostly divergent patterns of gene expression in their eye‐bearing tissues, suggesting a major role for ...

Chromatin dynamics enable transcriptional rhythms in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis

PLOS Genetics, 2019
In animals, circadian rhythms are driven by oscillations in transcription, translation, and proteasomal degradation of highly conserved genes, resulting in diel cycles in the expression of numerous clock-regulated genes. Transcription is largely regulated through the binding of transcription factors to cis-regulatory elements within accessible regions ...

Programming of pluripotency and the germ line co-evolved from a Nanog ancestor

Cell Reports
Summary: Francois Jacob proposed that evolutionary novelty arises through incremental tinkering with pre-existing genetic mechanisms. Vertebrate evolution was predicated on pluripotency, the ability of embryonic cells to form somatic germ layers and ...

Tubulin Polymerization Promoting Proteins: Functional Diversity With Implications in Neurological Disorders

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 103, Issue 5, May 2025.
A family of human proteins, encoded by Tubulin Polymerization Promoting Proteins (TPPP), is highly conserved across species. TPPP displays remarkable functional diversity and is implicated in various neurological disorders. Image created with BioRender.com.

Molecular and Cellular Analysis of the Nematostella vectensis Cnidom [PDF]

, 2011
Cnidaria is the sister group of Bilateria and thus phylogenetically at the base of the Metazoa. The characteristic trait of the phylum is the presence of nematocysts or cnidae. These unique extrusive organelles are used for prey capture, feeding, defense and partly locomotion.

Early development and axis specification in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis

Developmental Biology, 2007
We investigated the early development of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, an emerging model system of the Cnidaria. Early cleavage stages are characterized by substantial variability from embryo to embryo, yet invariably lead to the formation of a coeloblastula.
