A Manually Curated Gene Model Set for an Ascidian, Ciona robusta (Ciona intestinalis Type A)

open access: yesZoological 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.

Omics Studies for the Identification of Ascidian Peptides, Cognate Receptors, and Their Relevant Roles in Ovarian Follicular Development

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Fertilization of Ascidians: Gamete Interaction, Self/Nonself Recognition and Sperm Penetration of Egg Coat

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Fertilization is one of the most important events in living organisms to generate a new life with a mixed genetic background. To achieve successful fertilization, sperm and eggs must undergo complex processes in a sequential order.

Voltage-sensing phosphatase (Vsp) regulates endocytosis-dependent nutrient absorption in chordate enterocytes

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
The physiological role of Vsp in zebrafish is assessed, revealing Vsp expression in the mid-intestine for dietary protein absorption. A comparative study on marine invertebrate Ciona intestinalis suggests conservation of Vsp function in the GI tract.

Non-coding RNAs in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 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.

The CNS connectome of a tadpole larva of Ciona intestinalis (L.) highlights sidedness in the brain of a chordate sibling

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Left-right asymmetries in brains are usually minor or cryptic. We report brain asymmetries in the tiny, dorsal tubular nervous system of the ascidian tadpole larva, Ciona intestinalis.

Computational prediction and experimental validation of Ciona intestinalis microRNA genes

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2007
Background This study reports the first collection of validated microRNA genes in the sea squirt, Ciona intestinalis. MicroRNAs are processed from hairpin precursors to ~22 nucleotide RNAs that base pair to target mRNAs and inhibit expression.

ANP (Atrial Natriuretic Peptide) presence in the heart of a tunicate, Ciona intestinalis.

open access: yesFolia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010
Atrial natriuretic peptide was found in the heart of vertebrates, we studied the ANP presence in the heart of Ciona intestinalis. This is animal is very important because of the its evolutionary position between invertebrates and vertebrates.

Fluorescent protein voltage probes derived from ArcLight that respond to membrane voltage changes with fast kinetics. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
We previously reported the discovery of a fluorescent protein voltage probe, ArcLight, and its derivatives that exhibit large changes in fluorescence intensity in response to changes of plasma membrane voltage.
