Multiomics Reveal Associations Between CpG Methylation, Histone Modifications and Transcription in a Species That has Lost DNMT3, the Colorado Potato Beetle

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 7, Page 454-469, November 2025.
Despite lacking DNMT3, EM‐seq revealed CpG methylation in the Colorado potato beetle. CUT&Tag analysis showed an association of H3K36me3 and H3K27ac with transcription, with H3K36me3 mirroring CpG methylation, demonstrating epigenetic flexibility.

Methylome Profiling of a Deuterostome Invertebrate Using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT)

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT DNA methylation is crucial for genome regulation and provides key insights into the interaction between genetics and environmental factors, offering valuable perspectives for ecological research. However, knowledge of DNA methylation patterns in nonmodel invertebrates remains limited.

The sunflower sea star reduces grazing rates of purple sea urchins dependent upon urchin starvation state

Ecosphere
Ecosystem function is maintained in part by direct species interactions, but indirect interactions and non‐consumptive effects may be of equal ecological importance.

Characterization of thyrotropin-releasing hormone producing neurons in sea urchin, from larva to juvenile

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Most sea urchin species are indirect developers, going through a larval stage called pluteus. The pluteus possesses its own nervous system, consisting mainly of the apical organ neurons (controlling metamorphosis and settlement) and ciliary band neurons (

Conservation of cis-Regulatory Syntax Underlying Deuterostome Gastrulation

Cells
Throughout embryonic development, the shaping of the functional and morphological characteristics of embryos is orchestrated by an intricate interaction between transcription factors and cis-regulatory elements.
