Ciona intestinalis: Chordate development made simple [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 2005 AbstractThanks to their transparent and rapidly developing mosaic embryos, ascidians (or sea squirts) have been a model system for embryological studies for over a century. Recently, ascidians have entered the postgenomic era, with the sequencing of the Ciona intestinalis genome and the accumulation of molecular resources that rival those available for

Globin Genes Are Present in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2003 The key position of the Ciona intestinalis basal to the vertebrate phylogenetic tree brings up the question of which respiratory proteins are used by the tunicate to facilitate oxygen transport and storage. The publication of the Ciona draft genome sequence suggests that globin genes are completely missing and that-like some molluscs and arthropods-the

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.

The European Zoological Journal, 2019 Small plastic particles, named microplastics, are abundant in the marine environment and can be ingested by marine organisms. Species with different feeding strategies can be differently affected by the presence of microplastics.

BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Computational methods for identifying selenoproteins have been developed rapidly in recent years. However, it is still difficult to identify the open reading frame (ORF) of eukaryotic selenoprotein gene, because the TGA codon for a ...

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 ...

Molecular Cytogenetic Characterization of Ciona intestinalis Chromosomes [PDF]
Zoological Science, 2005 The compact genome of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis has been sequenced. Chromosome karyotype and mapping of the genome sequence information on each of the 14 pairs of chromosomes are essential for genome-wide studies of gene expression and function in this basal chordate.

Experiments on Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
Nature, 1924 SINCE I had the pleasure of making copies, the only ones, I think, of Dr. Kammerer's photographs of Ciona during his visit to England, and believe that Prof. MacBride is not at the moment in possession of a complete set, I am taking the liberty of supplying the details requested by Mr. Cunningham in his letter to NATURE of December 15.
