The new, chromosome-level genome assembly of #Hydractinia is introduced in #G3Journal. Great collaboration with Koto Kon-Nanjo, MD Tetsuo Kon (今 鉄男), MD, PhD Helen Horkan Febrimarsa Paulyn Cartwright Rob Steele and Oleg Simakov. academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

Today on the cover of Current Biology – a single #Hydractinia adult stem cell (AKA i-cell) can make a whole animal. Áine Varley Helen Horkan Emma McMahon Gabriel Krasovec cell.com/current-biolog… doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

A new study by a #research team from University of Galway has described the developmental potential of adult stem cells in cnidarian Hydractinia - a creature that is a close relative of jellyfish. Find out more 👉 bit.ly/3okgTeb Uri Frank Áine Varley Helen Horkan

Really lovely dispatch by Fabian Rentzsch and Simona Chera

For a Wellcome funded project, we are looking for a postdoc and a research assistant. Interested in #stemcells, #chromatin, #regeneration, and #evolution? Visit us at urifranklab.org Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway

📢📢📢 Postdoc position available at Frank Lab! 📢📢📢

Delighted to be featured today in Silicon Republic , discussing my recent Current Biology paper, Hydractinia research and how a childrens book made me want to be a scientist. siliconrepublic.com/innovation/ste…

Congrats to Febrimarsa on his hard-earned The EMBO Journal paper!

A homeobox gene plays a major role in the evolution (and loss) of the medusa life cycle stage in Cnidaria. Super excited to have this paper out - led by KU EEB GSO KU Ecology & Evolutionary Biology PhD student Matthew Travert.

1/n I'm delighted to tell you about our latest #preprint that I think represents the most exciting work ever (!!!) coming out of my lab. Led by Joachim Surm about #venom, #Evolution #Nematostella #tradeoff #adaptation and #Ecology biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus chromosome level genome assembly out today in G3 Uri Frank lab in collaboration with Tetsuo Kon (今 鉄男), MD, PhD and Koto Kon-Nanjo, MD academic.oup.com/g3journal/arti…

New genome assembly out in G3!

The Gahan lab now has a website 🎉 Most importantly it includes some details on the positions which will be available! gahanlab.com

Crocheted embryo models — featured artwork from the Node-BSDB virtual art exhibition We caught up with Tahani Baakdhah Dr. Tahani Baakdhah د. تهاني باعكضه to learn more about her research and the story behind creating the crocheted embryo models: thenode.biologists.com/crocheted-embr…

Evolution of apoptotic signalling pathways among metazoans: insights from lophotrochozoans biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

After our recent publication in Evolution Letters exploring apoptotic actors at the metazoan scale, we decided to follow up by taking a deeper dive into the world of Lophpotrocozoa. 1/2 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to a phenomenal scientist and a wonderful friend.

Germ cells in #Hydractinia emit a BMP signal that patterns the gonad. The resulting developed gonad induces new germ cells that, in turn, maintain the gonad. New work by urifranklab.org Curantz camille, Helen Horkan, TimDuBuc et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
