Description:
The third Nematostella vectensis Research Conference took place in December 2013 in Eilat,
Israel, as a satellite to the 8th International Conference on Coelenterate Biology. The starlet sea
anemone, Nematostella vectensis, has emerged as a powerful cnidarian model, in large part due
to the extensive genomic and transcriptomic resources and molecular approaches that are
becoming available for Nematostella, which were the focus of several presentations. In addition,
research was presented highlighting the broader utility of this species for studies of development,
circadian rhythms, signal transduction, and gene–environment interactions.
Description:
Research in the authors’ laboratories on Nematostella is supported by
National Science Foundation grants MCB-1057354 to A.M.T. and MCB-0924749 to T.D.G.
Travel support for the meeting was provided to T.D.G. by Illumina, Inc. (San Diego, CA, USA),
to A.M.R. by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and to A.M.T. by the Israel–US
Binational Science Foundation (Jerusalem, Israel).
