Fibronectin contributes to notochord intercalation in the invertebrate chordate, Ciona intestinalis [PDF]
EvoDevo, 2016 Background Genomic analysis has upended chordate phylogeny, placing the tunicates as the sister group to the vertebrates. This taxonomic rearrangement raises questions about the emergence of a tunicate/vertebrate ancestor.

, 2020 Tunicates are a diverse group of invertebrate marine chordates that includes the larvaceans, thaliaceans, and ascidians. Because of their unique evolutionary position as the sister group of the vertebrates, tunicates are invaluable as a comparative model and hold the promise of revealing both conserved and derived features of chordate gastrulation ...

Stemness Activity Underlying Whole Brain Regeneration in a Basal Chordate
Cells, 2022 Understanding how neurons regenerate following injury remains a central challenge in regenerative medicine. Adult mammals have a very limited ability to regenerate new neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). In contrast, the basal chordate Polycarpa
