Developmental gene regulatory networks (GRNs) underpin metazoan embryogenesis and
have undergone substantial modification to generate the tremendous variety of animal forms …

High-resolution spatial and temporal maps of gene expression have facilitated a
comprehensive understanding of animal development and evolution. In nematodes, the …

Cells in a developing animal embryo become specified by the activation of cell-type-specific
gene regulatory networks. The network that specifies the gut in the nematode …

Most nematodes are small worms that lack enough RNA for regular RNA-seq protocols
without pooling hundred to thousand of individuals. We have adapted the Smart-seq2 …

Background Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent research model whose populations
have been used in many studies to address various biological questions. Although worm-to …

Understanding the transcriptional regulatory characteristics throughout the embryogenesis
of plant-parasitic nematodes is crucial for elucidating their developmental processes' …

Entomopathogenic nematodes from the genus Steinernema are lethal insect parasites that
quickly kill their insect hosts with the help of their symbiotic bacteria. Steinernema …

The evolution of development has been studied through the lens of gene regulation by
examining either closely related species or extremely distant animals of different phyla. In …

The advancement of transcriptomic studies in plant parasitic nematodes will greatly benefit
from the development of single-nematode RNA-seq methods. Since many plant parasitic …

Endoderm specification in Caenorhabditis elegans occurs through a network in which
maternally provided SKN-1/Nrf, with additional input from POP-1/TCF, activates the GATA …
