A Manually Curated Gene Model Set for an Ascidian, Ciona robusta (Ciona intestinalis Type A) [PDF]
Zoological Science, 2022 Gene/transcript model sets predicted from decoded genome sequences are an important resource for a wide range of biological studies. Accuracy of gene models is therefore critical for deducing accurate conclusions. Computationally predicted models are sometimes inconsistent with experimental data from cDNA clones and RNA-sequencing.

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) superfamily neuropeptides are distributed in not only vertebrates but also diverse invertebrates. However, no VPergic innervation of invertebrates has ever been documented.

The Gut of Geographically Disparate Ciona intestinalis Harbors a Core Microbiota
PLoS ONE, 2014 It is now widely understood that all animals engage in complex interactions with bacteria (or microbes) throughout their various life stages. This ancient exchange can involve cooperation and has resulted in a wide range of evolved host-microbial ...

Ciona as a Simple Chordate Model for Heart Development and Regeneration
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2016 Cardiac cell specification and the genetic determinants that govern this process are highly conserved among Chordates. Recent studies have established the importance of evolutionarily-conserved mechanisms in the study of congenital heart defects and ...

Biology Open, 2021 In the ascidian Ciona intestinalis, basal body parts regenerate distal structures but distal body parts do not replace basal structures. Regeneration involves the activity of adult stem cells in the branchial sac, which proliferate and produce migratory ...

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Omics studies contribute to the elucidation of genomes and profiles of gene expression. In the ascidian Ciona intestinalis Type A (Ciona robusta), mass spectrometry (MS)-based peptidomic studies have detected numerous Ciona-specific (nonhomologous ...

Evolution of signal multiplexing by 14-3-3-binding 2R-ohnologue protein families in the vertebrates [PDF]
Open Biology, 2012 14-3-3 proteins regulate cellular responses to stimuli by docking onto pairs of phosphorylated residues on target proteins. The present study shows that the human 14-3-3-binding phosphoproteome is highly enriched in 2R-ohnologues, which are proteins in ...

Pax3/7 regulates neural tube closure and patterning in a non-vertebrate chordate
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Pax3/7 factors play numerous roles in the development of the dorsal nervous system of vertebrates. From specifying neural crest at the neural plate borders, to regulating neural tube closure and patterning of the resulting neural tube.

The diatom-derived aldehyde decadienal affects life cycle transition in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis through nitric oxide/ERK signalling [PDF]
Open Biology, 2015 Polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) are fatty-acid-derived metabolites produced by some microalgae, including different diatom species. PUAs are mainly produced as a wound-activated defence mechanism against microalgal predators or released from senescent ...
