Abstract

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, N. 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.

We are indebted to the organizers of the 2013 ICCB, Tamar Lotan, Oren Levy, and particularly Yehuda Benayhu. We thank Joseph Ryan (Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, University of Florida, St. Augustine, FL, USA) for help with meeting planning and web support. We thank the chairpersons of sessions within the ICCB main meeting for allowing presentations from within their sessions to be included in this report: Genomics, Proteomics and Evolution (M. Martindale, U. Frank and O. Levy), and Cell and Developmental Biology and Neurology, (U. Gat and U. Technau). 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).
