This study identifies Lzts as a regulator of neuron number in Ciona by controlling cell-cycle timing through a conserved Lzts-Cdc25-Cdk1 circuit.

This study investigates the molecular response of Oikopleura dioica embryos to underwater noise exposure, finding rapid transcriptomic changes without morphological effects.

The paper identifies LINE retrotransposons and long non-coding RNAs in octopus brains, suggesting their role in cognitive evolution through germline and somatic activity.

The paper identifies a cis-regulatory change in the Ebf gene that causes reduced expression in motor neurons of immotile tunicate larvae, contributing to the loss of swimming ability.
