Jellyfish are useful genetic indicators for aquatic ecosystems as they have limited mobility and are highly exposed to the water column. By using comparative genomics and the molecular clock (timetree) of Rhizostoma pulmo, we revealed a divergence point ...

A fragmented metazoan organellar genome [PDF]
Background: Animal mitochondrial (mt) genomes are characteristically circular molecules of ~16–20 kb. Medusozoa (Cnidaria excluding Anthozoa) are exceptional in that their mt genomes are linear and sometimes subdivided into two to presumably four ...

From single neurons to behavior in the jellyfish Aurelia aurita
Jellyfish nerve nets provide insight into the origins of nervous systems, as both their taxonomic position and their evolutionary age imply that jellyfish resemble some of the earliest neuron-bearing, actively-swimming animals. Here, we develop the first

Rhizostomins: A Novel Pigment Family From Rhizostome Jellyfish (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)
Many pigments, such as melanins, are widely distributed throughout the animal kingdom. Others have arisen as novelties in particular lineages, for example, the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) found in cnidarians.

Morphological diversity of medusan lineages constrained by animal–fluid interactions [PDF]
Cnidarian medusae, commonly known as jellyfish, represent the earliest known animal taxa to achieve locomotion using muscle power. Propulsion by medusae requires the force of bell contraction to generate forward thrust.

The complete mitogenome of ghost jellyfish Cyanea nozakii (Cnidaria, Semaeostomeae, Cyaneidae)
The cnidarian jellyfishes are impressive organisms to show animal mitochondrial genomic diversities. Their mitogenome structure is linear and tRNA content has one or two in numbers, which is highly different than other metazoans.

Planuloid budding from a cutting plane of polyp stalk of Cassiopea sp.(Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) [PDF]
Cassiopea polyps that appeared in culture vessels of Turritopsis sp. polyps at the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory, Kyoto University in 2014 were experimentally amputated their stalks from the calyxes.
