Association of a 66 kDa Homolog of Chlamydomonas DC2, a Subunit of the Outer Arm Docking Complex, with Outer Arm Dynein of Sperm Flagella in the Ascidian Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
, 2006 We previously identified a 66 kDa axonemal protein (Ci-Axp66.0) in sperm of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis. Here we found that Ci-Axp66.0 shows sequence similarity to the DC2 subunit of the Chlamydomonas outer arm docking complex.

The nervous system of the adult ascidian Ciona intestinalis Type A (Ciona robusta): Insights from transgenic animal models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The nervous system of ascidians is an excellent model system to provide insights into the evolutionary process of the chordate nervous system due to their phylogenetic positions as the sister group of vertebrates.

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship
genesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2015 Ciona intestinalis is considered a widespread and easily recognizable tunicate, the sister group of vertebrates. In recent years, molecular studies suggested that C. intestinalis includes at least two cryptic species, named ‘type A’ and ‘type B’, morphologically indistinguishable. It is dramatic to certify that two different species may be hidden under

Gene expression and cellular changes in injured myocardium of Ciona intestinalis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyCiona intestinalis is an invertebrate animal model system that is well characterized and has many advantages for the study of cardiovascular biology. The regulatory mechanisms of cardiac myocyte proliferation in Ciona are intriguing since regeneration of

T-type Calcium Channel Regulation of Neural Tube Closure and EphrinA/EPHA Expression
Cell Reports, 2015 A major class of human birth defects arise from aberrations during neural tube closure (NTC). We report on a NTC signaling pathway requiring T-type calcium channels (TTCCs) that is conserved between primitive chordates (Ciona) and Xenopus.

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 826-847, April 2026.ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

Computational Analysis of Ciona intestinalis Operons [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2010 Operons are clusters of genes that are co-regulated from a common promoter. Operons are typically associated with prokaryotes, although a small number of eukaryotes have been shown to possess them. Among metazoans, operons have been extensively characterized in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in which ∼15% of the total genes are organized into ...
