Ciona - Wikipedia Ciona is a genus of sea squirts in the family Cionidae The body of Ciona is bag-like and covered by a tunic, which is a secretion of the epidermal cells The body is attached at a permanent base located at the posterior part, and the opposite bears two openings, the buccal and atrial siphons
The Development and Growth of Ciona | Journal of the Marine Biological . . . Ciona intestinalis (L ) is probably the most cosmopolitan species of ascidians and has long been of general interest The adult morphology has been well described in monographic form by Roule (1884), the physiology of the heart and circulation by Heine (1902), Enriques (1904) and Wolf (1932), of the nervous system by Magnus (1902), Hecht (1918
Ciona Genetics - PMC Ascidians, such as Ciona, are invertebrate chordates with simple embryonic body plans and small, relatively non-redundant genomes Ciona genetics is in its infancy compared to many other model systems, but it provides a powerful method for studying
Ciona: Current Biology - Cell Press What is Ciona? Ciona is a genus of sea squirts or ascidians The best known species are Ciona intestinalis from Europe, and Ciona savignyi from Japan; both are now invasive species in the USA
Home - Ciona intestinalis v2. 0 - The Department of Energys Energy. gov The Ciona intestinalis genome is the smallest of any experimentally manipulable chordate This organism provides a good system for exploring the evolutionary origins of the chordate lineage, from which all vertebrates sprouted
Ciona intestinalis - Wikipedia Ciona intestinalis (sometimes known by the common name of vase tunicate) is an ascidian (sea squirt), a tunicate with very soft tunic Its Latin name literally means "pillar of intestines", referring to the fact that its body is a soft, translucent column-like structure, resembling a mass of intestines sprouting from a rock [ 1 ]
The Natural History of Model Organisms: An organismal . . . - eLife The ascidian Ciona intestinalis, commonly known as a ‘sea squirt’, has become an important model for embryological studies, offering a simple blueprint for chordate development As a model organism, it offers the following: a small, compact genome; a free swimming larva with only about 2600 cells; and an embryogenesis that unfolds according
