abstract = {Ctenophores, also known as comb jellies, are a clade of fragile holopelagic, carnivorous marine inverte-

brates, that represent one of the most ancient extant groups of multicellular animals. Ctenophores show a

remarkable ability to regenerate in the adult form, being capable of replacing all body parts (i.e., whole-

body regeneration) after loss/amputation. With many favorable experimental features (optical clarity,

stereotyped cell lineage, multiple cell types), a full genome sequence available and their early branching

phylogenetic position, ctenophores are well placed to provide information about the evolution of regener-

ative ability throughout the Metazoa. Here, we provide a collection of detailed protocols for use of the

lobate ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi to study whole-body regeneration, including specimen collection,

husbandry, surgical manipulation, and imaging techniques.},
