Development of Ciona intestinalis juveniles (through 2nd ascidian stage).
Following the reading of its draft genome sequence and the collection of a large quantity of cDNA information, Ciona intestinalis is now becoming a model organism for whole-genome analyses of the expression and function of developmentally relevant genes. Although most studies have focused on larval structures, the development of the adult form is also very interesting in relation to tissues and...
متن کاملProteomic profiles of embryonic development in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis.
We report here proteomics-based protein profiles of three embryonic stages of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed 416, 539, and 695 protein spots in the unfertilized eggs, 16 cell-stage embryos, and tadpole larvae, respectively. Comparative and quantitative analyses of the spot patterns identified proteins showing an increase or decrease in amount durin...
متن کاملPost-metamorphic attachment by solitary ascidian Ciona intestinalis (Linnaeus, 1767) juveniles from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Ciona intestinalis is an invasive marine biofouling organism first detected in coastal waters of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2012. As a sessile animal, it is essential that larvae locate a suitable substrate for attachment in an adequate environment, but the timing of this critical event may not be as important as once believed. We demonstrate that while swimming larvae may have limited time t...
متن کاملInduction of anterior neural fates in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis
The sensory vesicle of ascidians is thought to be homologous to the vertebrate forebrain and midbrain (Development 125 (1998) 1113). Here we report the isolation of two sensory vesicle markers in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis, which are homologs of vertebrate otx and gsx homeobox genes. By using these markers to analyze the induction of anterior neural tissue in Ciona, we find that the restri...
متن کاملStudy of Cis-regulatory Elements in the Ascidian Ciona intestinalis
The ascidian (sea squirt) C. intestinalis has become an important model organism for the study of cis-regulation. This is largely due to the technology that has been developed for assessing cis-regulatory activity through the use of transient reporter transgenes introduced into fertilized eggs. This technique allows the rapid and inexpensive testing of endogenous or altered DNA for regulatory a...
