The head-regeneration transcriptome of the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea
ORGANISM(S): Schmidtea mediterranea 
Freshwater planarian flatworms possess uncanny regenerative capacities mediated by abundant and collectively totipotent adult stem cells. Key functions of these cells during regeneration and tissue homeostasis have been shown to depend on PIWI, a molecule required for piRNA expression in planarians....
ORGANISM(S): Schmidtea mediterranea 
Single cell qPCR analysis identified two prominent expression signatures within the planarian stem cells, the neoblasts. RNAi against zinc finger protein zfp-1 results in elimination of one of the two classes. Worms were treated with RNAi by feeding. X1 or X2 cells were isolated by FACS, or blastema...

The model explores the establishment and stability of the wildtype polarity pattern in planarian flatworms. Initial conditions for A and M fields are chosen as arbitrarily perturbed to demonstrate stability of the wild type pattern. A represents the A/P polarization system, M represents the M/L pola...

The transcriptome of the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea is not well characterized. We have used RNA-Seq to characterize the transcriptome in both sexual and asexual strains of S. mediterranea from both untreated and irradiated animals. Moreover, we have performed RNA-Seq on RNA purified from FAC...

This spatio-temporal model explores tissue polarity re-organization during planarian double-head formation upon regeneration with beta-catenin-1 RNAi treatment. Initial conditions for A and M polarity fields are chosen near the wild type pattern and the first 100 time steps are used to establish the...

Is is a fundamental evolutionary question which coordinated molecular changes underly adaptation generally and thermal adaptation specifically. Here we profiled the proteome of the Planarian glacial relict species Crenobia alpina. We sampled individuals from an alpine spring, acclimated groups of in...

Investigation of differences in gene expression between two strains of the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea. The sexual strain are cross-fertilizing hermaphrodites with reproductive organs that develop post-embryonically and the asexual strain reproduces exclusively by transverse fission and fail to...

neuroendocrine control of planarian regeneration
Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is known to correlate with both active and poised genomic loci, yet many questions remain regarding its functional roles in vivo. We identify functional genomic targets of two H3K4 methyltransferases, Set1 and MLL1/2, in both the stem cells (X1) and diffe...
