Hydra
Hydra vulgaris
A small cnidarian known for its remarkable regenerative abilities and immortal characteristics.
Dataset Statistics
Overview
Hydra (Hydra vulgaris) is a unique cnidarian model organism renowned for its extraordinary regenerative capabilities and developmental plasticity. As one of the simplest animals with a nervous system, Hydra serves as an important model for studying fundamental biological processes including regeneration, stem cell biology, and the evolution of multicellularity. This portal provides genomic resources for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying head regeneration and tissue patterning in this remarkable organism.
