Morphological Differences between Larvae of the Ciona intestinalis Species Complex: Hints for a Valid Taxonomic Definition of Distinct Species

PLoS ONE, 2015
The cosmopolitan ascidian Ciona intestinalis is the most common model species of Tunicata, the sister-group of Vertebrata, and widely used in developmental biology, genomics and evolutionary studies.

Ciona intestinalis as a Marine Model System to Study Some Key Developmental Genes Targeted by the Diatom-Derived Aldehyde Decadienal

Marine Drugs, 2015
The anti-proliferative effects of diatoms, described for the first time in copepods, have also been demonstrated in benthic invertebrates such as polychaetes, sea urchins and tunicates.

Mitogenomics reveals two cryptic species in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]

Trends in Genetics, 2007
Individual mitochondrial genes or genomic features are commonly used as phylogenetic markers at many taxonomic levels. We used a mitogenomics approach to demonstrate the existence of two cryptic species in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis, a model chordate whose status as a single species has recently been questioned.

Comparing the sensitivity of two cogeneric ascidian species to two plastic additives: Bisphenol A and the flame retardant tris(chloro-propyl)phosphate

The European Zoological Journal, 2022
Although sensitivity to pollutants is well known to be species specific, closely related species are often assumed to respond similarly to them. We tested this assumption, comparing the sensitivity of Ciona intestinalis and Ciona robusta to two common ...

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

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.

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

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 ...

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

Frontiers 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

Communications 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]

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.
