Tracing cell identity through metamorphosis in a freshwater sponge larva
Meeting Abstract 71.5 Saturday, Jan. 5 Tracing cell identity through metamorphosis in a freshwater sponge larva WINDSOR, P.J.*; LEYS, S.P.; Univ. Alberta; Univ. Alberta pwindsor@ualberta.ca Sponges, like other animals, show anterior-posterior polarity especially in their larval stages. However whether larval polarity is carried over to the adult is not yet known, nor is the fate of any […]

Meeting Abstract 71.6 Saturday, Jan. 5 Single-cell RNA-seq and cell-specific DNA methylation profiling for comparative and integrative biology: Toward genomic portraits of individual blastomeres and identified neurons KOHN, A.B.*; MOROZ, L.L.; University of Florida, Whitney lab abkohn@msn.com Considering the enormous heterogeneity of cell populations, methodology for single-cell RNA-seq (transcriptome) and unbiased epigenomic analysis of individual cells is […]
Patterning of cell cycle arrest during formation of the nematode uterine-vulval connection
Meeting Abstract 71.4 Saturday, Jan. 5 Patterning of cell cycle arrest during formation of the nematode uterine-vulval connection MATUS, D.Q.*; CHANG, E.; SHERWOOD, D.R.; Duke University david.matus@duke.edu During development, transcription factors program the differentiation of discrete cell types. The adoption of a differentiated fate is often accompanied by cell cycle arrest. Many of these differentiated cells are […]
