Characterization of RNA interference in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis reveals partial target silencing but lack of small RNA amplification [PDF]

PLoS Biol
RNA interference (RNAi) is a sequence-specific mRNA degradation mechanism, in which short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) guide Argonaute proteins to complementary targets, resulting in their degradation.

StellaBase: The Nematostella vectensis Genomics Database [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2006
StellaBase, the Nematostella vectensis Genomics Database, is a web-based resource that will facilitate desktop and bench-top studies of the starlet sea anemone. Nematostella is an emerging model organism that has already proven useful for addressing fundamental questions in developmental evolution and evolutionary genomics.

Genomics and development of Nematostella vectensis and other anthozoans

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2016
Due to their rather simple body plan with only few organs and a low number of cell types, cnidarians have long been recognized as an important animal group for evolutionary comparisons of animal body plans. Recent studies have shown, however, that the genomes of cnidarians and their epigenetic and posttranscriptional regulation are more complex than ...

Induction of gametogenesis in the basal cnidarian Nematostella vectensis (Anthozoa)

Development Genes and Evolution, 2002
A protocol was established to reproducibly induce spawning in the basal cnidarian Nematostella vectensis (Anthozoa). We found that a combination of feeding regime, dark-light cycle and temperature shift synergistically induced gametogenesis in adult polyps. Females lay between 100-600 eggs. This procedure led reproducibly to the production of thousands

Integrins of the Starlet Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis

The Biological Bulletin, 2014
Integrins are extracellular matrix receptors composed of α and β subunits. Here we describe two α subunits and four β subunits from the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the α subunits are most closely related to RGD- and LDV-dependent α subunits of chordates.

The anemone,Nematostella vectensis, in Britain: considerations for conservation management

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 1997
1. The starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, is a small edwardsiid anemone found in sheltered brackish habitats on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America and on the south and east coasts of England.  2. On eastern Atlantic coasts, this anemone is limited to relatively few sites and has consequently been listed in the IUCN ...

Expression of Usherin in the Anthozoan Nematostella vectensis

The Biological Bulletin, 2010
The transmembrane splice variant of usherin is concentrated in the ankle-link complex of stereocilia in the vertebrate cochlea. Mutations in this variant can result in Usher Syndrome, or congenital deafblindness. In order to study the phylogenetically conserved features of this protein, two adjacent putative genes encoding predicted proteins similar to

Rising starlet: the starlet sea anemone,Nematostella vectensis

BioEssays, 2005
In recent years, a handful of model systems from the basal metazoan phylum Cnidaria have emerged to challenge long-held views on the evolution of animal complexity. The most-recent, and in many ways most-promising addition to this group is the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis.

Alteration of the catalytic properties of the epoxyalcohol synthase CYP443D1 (NvEAS) of the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis as a result of a single amino acid substitution

Cytochromes of the P450 superfamily are widespread in nature; they were found in all studied aerobic organisms. Although the degree of similarity between cytochromes P450 of different families is low, all enzymes of this superfamily have similar tertiary

A report from the second Nematostella vectensis research conference

Development Genes and Evolution, 2013
This report summarizes information discussed at the second Nematostella vectensis research conference, which took place on August 27, 2012 in Boston, MA, USA. The startlet sea anemone Nematostella is emerging as one of leading model organisms among cnidarians, in part because of the extensive genome and transcriptome resources that are becoming ...
