Shared GENETICS between YOU & JELLYFISH

Let's talk about four major genetic similarities that we have in common with jellyfish based on a recent paper published in Nature Communications.

Understanding what genetic mechanisms are evolutionarily conserved can provide invaluable insight into our evolutionary history and help us identify future biological models or hypotheses.

I highly recommend reading the paper discussed. Many concepts are simplified in order to discuss them in a brief amount of time. Here is the information on the paper:

Jellyfish genomes reveal distinct homeobox gene clusters and conservation of small RNA processing. Nat Commun. 2020 Jun 19;11(1):3051. doi: 10.1038/s41467-020-16801-9. PMID: 32561724; PMCID: PMC7305137.
