#DBfeature #EvoDevo mRNA splicing variants of the transcription factor Blimp1 differentially regulate germline genes in echinoderms "Each Blimp1 isoform has distinct functions within & between species" by Gerardo Reyes, Nathalie Oulhen, Gary Wessel www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sea star embryo development. Blimp1 mRNA expression localizes at the oocyte's vegetal site, similar to Vasa and Wnt, important genes for germline formation.

Molecular profiles, sources and lineage restrictions of stem cells in an annelid regeneration model - Nature Communications

Regenerative capacity varies between species, with some animals showing robust whole-animal regeneration after amputation. Here they use time-resolved scRNA-seq and mosaic transgenesis to delineate ho...
