Non-coding RNAs in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2005 Abstract Motivation: The analysis of animal genomes showed that only a minute part of their DNA codes for proteins. Recent experimental results agree, however, that a large fraction of these genomes are transcribed and hence are probably functional at the RNA level.

?Ciona robusta (formerly Ciona intestinalis type A) as model system for ecotoxicological studies?
, 2021 The invertebrate urochordate Ciona robusta (formerly Ciona intestinalis type A) is a sessile marine benthic organism distributed worldwide that attaches to the surfaces of both natural and artificial substrates, from shallow water to the deep sea.

MiniSOG2-mediated Specific Photoablation of Motor Neurons in Ascidian Embryos
Bio-Protocol, 2022 When understanding the neuronal function of a specific neural circuit, single-cell level photoablation of a targeted cell is one of the useful experimental approaches.

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Diploid genome reconstruction of Ciona intestinalis and comparative analysis with Ciona savignyi [PDF]
Genome Research, 2007 One of the main goals in genome sequencing projects is to determine a haploid consensus sequence even when clone libraries are constructed from homologous chromosomes. However, it has been noticed that haplotypes can be inferred from genome assemblies by investigating phase conservation in sequenced reads.

Identification of an LPS-Induced Chemo-Attractive Peptide from Ciona robusta
Marine Drugs, 2020 Background: Previously published work has demonstrated that the LPS injection of Ciona robusta leads to the overexpression of a truncated form of an immune-related mRNA (C8short) by means of Ciona robusta (CR) alternative polyadenylation (APA) (CR-APA ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Matrix Adhesion Polarizes Heart Progenitor Induction In The Invertebrate Chordate Ciona Intestinalis [PDF]
, 2013 Cell-matrix adhesion strongly influences developmental signaling. Resulting impacts on cell migration and tissue morphogenesis are well characterized. However, the in vivo impact of adhesion on fate induction remains ambiguous.
