Stony coral Researchers at the University of Haifa, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (Barcelona), and the Weizmann Institute have managed to sequence – for the first time – the genetic program of each cell type in stony corals. This allows researchers to understand exactly which cells take part in key processes in the coral’s development, such as skeleton formation, the immune system, and so forth.

Sea Anemones Despite an evolutionary gap of 700 million years, a new study that was undertaken at the University of Haifa and published in the prestigious journal Nature Ecology and Evolution found that the GABA neurotransmitter, which plays a central role in brain development and function in mammals, fulfills similar roles in sea anemones. “In the study, we not only discovered that a receptor from the GABABR family controls the metamorphosis process in the sea anemone, but also that the molecular path is similar to that found in humans, and in both cases, it mediates nervous system func...
