1/2 And here we go, a new member of our #GoenomiX team. 🥳 Welcome, @sassaf.bsky.social! 🔬 Research: Evo-devo, high resolution imaging, transgenic and genome editing approaches 🔭 Looking forward to: Learn how to integrate data into a 3D virtual model

@irenekarapidaki.bsky.social et al have identified robust membrane-localizing tags in each of ten animals from diverse phyla, including chordates, echinoderms, arthropods, roundworms, annelids, flatworms, and nettles and in their close relatives, the choanoflagellates. @dev-journal.bsky.social 1/2

Targeting the cell membrane in established and emerging model organisms

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.

These images show live embryos of animals (jellyfish, crustacean, worm, sea urchin, sea squirt, beetle) and one of animals closest single-celled relatives. They were captured taking advantage of fluorescent proteins localised on the outer membrane of cells, allowing us to observe cell outlines. 1/9

Tested in Clytia too - by @sassaf.bsky.social and @momotsuyo.bsky.social !

Excited to finally see my PhD work published! We identified specialized cells in jellyfish and coral larvae with shared features and potentially linked to settlement regulation.

ARPP19 phosphorylation site evolution and the switch in cAMP control of oocyte maturation in vertebrates Read this Research Article by Ferdinand Meneau, Marika Miot and colleagues @clytia-vlfr.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1242/dev.202655

Figure 1 (C) In situ hybridization detection of ClyARPP19 mRNA in a whole newly budded young medusa recently released from the polyp colony, and an adult ovary. Cartoons show tissue organization. ARPP19 mRNA is strongly detected in oocytes, around the bell rim where the nerve rings are positioned, and at the sites of neural stem cell populations. (D) Confocal images of Clytia oocytes stained with the anti-XeENSA antibody (a) or with the anti-XeENSA antibody pre-absorbed with ENSA protein (b). In each pair, images in the left are of anti-ENSA staining and images on the right are of DNA stained with Hoechst. The oocyte nucleus (GV) is positioned opposite the attached gastrodermal cells (gas)
