Summary: Screening a toolkit of diverse membrane-localising tags identifies candidates that efficiently localise proteins to the plasma membrane in a wide range of animals and choanoflagellates.

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously thought, but also in echinoderms (invertebrates). This is one of the most not...

Analysis of the 3D chromatin architecture and cis-regulatory elements in a sea urchin and a sea star reveals mechanisms of 3D chromatin organization in echinoderms and the long-term evolutionary dynam...

Animal morphology is dependent on where, when and which genes are turned on in the body and to what extent. In order to find out how species build their distinct body plans one needs to look genome an...

La Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn riafferma il proprio ruolo nel panorama della ricerca internazionale. Nel terzo bando del Fondo Italiano per la Scienza, promosso dal Ministero...

A sea urchin is a head with a brain-like organization and a vertebrate-type retinal signature.

One of the most intriguing questions in developmental biology is how a single cell, the zygote, gives rise to hundreds or millions of distinct cell types during embryogenesis. Decades of research have...
