Experiments using the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi and the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis reveal that the emergence of a core signalling pathway may have been a key innovation enabling the transit...

Experiments in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis show a role of gene body methylation in transposable element suppression and that epigenetic inheritance is constrained by chromatin context and tra...

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.

Long-read sequencing in 18 unicellular eukaryotes reveals that 6mA is widespread across eukaryotes and is enriched at transcriptionally permissive regions, which are also marked by H3K4me3.

Charlie Hebdo : Vous écrivez dans votre conclusion que la digue entre l’extrême droite pétainiste et la droite républicaine pourrait bientôt céder. Quels en sont les signaux ?Laurent Joly : Cette digue s’est formée au lendemain de la guerre. La droite nationaliste et l’extrême droite, compromises dans Vichy et le collaborationnisme, étaient complètement délégitimées après […]

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been an early evolutionary development.

A genome sequence and single-cell atlas of a marine worm species point towards bursts of gene emergence, duplication and loss as the drivers of lineage-specific body traits.
