Developmental Biology, 2017 The calcium ion (Ca2+) is an important second messenger, and a rapid increase in Ca2+ level (Ca2+ transient) is involved in various aspects of embryogenesis. Although Ca2+ transients play an important role in early developmental stages, little is known about their dynamics throughout embryogenesis.

Amylibacter cionae sp. nov., isolated from the sea squirt Ciona savignyi
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017 A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated H-12T, was isolated from a sea squirt (Ciona savignyi) collected from Tsingtao Port, Jiaozhou Bay, China, and its taxonomic position was investigated. Strain H-12T grew optimally at 25-30 °C, at pH 7.0-8.0 and in the presence of 3.0-4.0 % (w/v) NaCl.

CRISPR Knockouts in Ciona Embryos [PDF]
, 2018 Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 has emerged as a revolutionary tool for fast and efficient targeted gene knockouts and genome editing in almost any organism. The laboratory model tunicate Ciona is no exception.

Developmental system drift in motor ganglion patterning between distantly related tunicates
EvoDevo, 2018 Background The larval nervous system of the solitary tunicate Ciona is a simple model for the study of chordate neurodevelopment. The development and connectivity of the Ciona motor ganglion have been studied in fine detail, but how this important ...

The repertoire of G protein-coupled receptors in the sea squirt
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008 Background G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large family of integral transmembrane receptor proteins that play a central role in signal transduction in eukaryotes. The genome of the protochordate Ciona intestinalis has a compact size with

The Cis-Regulatory Code for Kelch-like 21/30 Specific Expression in Ciona robusta Sensory Organs
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 The tunicate Ciona robusta is an emerging model system to study the evolution of the nervous system. Due to their small embryos and compact genomes, tunicates, like Ciona robusta, have great potential to comprehend genetic circuitry underlying cell ...
