Abstract:Ctenophores are an attractive lineage for studying animal evolution due to their early divergence from other metazoans. Among Ctenophora,Mnemiopsis leidyiis a model system for developmental, cellular, molecular genetic, and evolutionary studies. Until recently, many of these studies were conducted on wild-caught animals, limiting access to researchers on the coast. Here we present significant advancements towards culturingM. leidyiin laboratories without coastal access, enabling its wider use as an experimenta… Show more
