More than a colour; how pigment influences colourblind microbes
Many animals have pigments when they themselves cannot see colour. Perhaps those
pigments enable the animal to avoid predators, or to attract mates. Maybe even those …

Single-cell RNA sequencing of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus larva reveals the blueprint of major cell types and nervous system of a non-chordate deuterostome
Identifying the molecular fingerprint of organismal cell types is key for understanding their
function and evolution. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to survey the …
