Oct. 12 (UPI) --New genomic analysis is helping a team of scientists unravel the secrets of the cucumber, including its ability to regenerate tissue. The genomic survey may also help scientists better ...

A new high-definition genome sequence of the sea cucumber provides molecular insights into its ability to regenerate. A new high-definition genome sequence of the sea cucumber provides molecular ...

Sea stars and their relatives eat, breathe and scuttle around the seafloor with tiny tube feet. Now researchers have gotten their first-ever look at similar tentacle-like structures in an extinct ...

PSP94-like genes and called fibrinogen-related proteins in sea cucumber are responsible for the regenerative property of sea cucumber. Sea cucumbers form one class of the echinoderms that also ...

Animals such as sea stars, sea urchins and sea lilies bury much more carbon than anticipated, according to the first study to estimate echinoderms' contribution to ocean carbon storage. Studies of ...

Recent discoveries of long-gone marine invertebrates call into question the occurrence of a catastrophic global extinction hundreds of millions of years ago. The loss of diversity wasn’t as widespread ...
