Altered regulatory interactions during development likely underlie a large fraction of phenotypic diversity within and between species, yet identifying specific evolutionary...

Single cell mRNA sequencing of blastula stage embryo of the sea urchin Heliocidaris erythrogramma

Transcriptomes of sea urchin (Heliocidaris erythrogramma) embryonic, larval, and juvenile stages were profiled using RNA-seq technology.

Sea urchins are a unique system for studying developmental transistions because of the stark differences between their bilateral larval and pentaradial adult body plans. Here,...

This is a study on genetic basis for extensive divergence in developmental gene expression during life history evolution in sea urchin Heliocidaris

Comparative genomics project analyzing evolution of cis-regulatory element function during sea urchin development

Coralline algae are a crucial component of reef systems, stabilising reef substrate, providing habitat and contributing to accretion. Coralline algae and their surface microbial...

Ocean acidification (OA) is predicted to be a major driver of ocean biodiversity change. At projected rates of change, sensitive marine taxa may not have time to adapt. Their...

Body-size and temperature are the major factors explaining metabolic rate, and the additional factor of pH is a major driver at the biochemical level. These three factors have...

Background: Climate change will lead to intense selection on many organisms, particularly during susceptible early life stages. To date, most studies on the likely biotic...
