Developmental biology of the larvacean Oikopleura dioica: Genome resources, functional screening, and imaging

Takeshi A. Onuma et al.

Summary: The larvacean Oikopleura dioica, a cosmopolitan planktonic chordate closely related to vertebrates, has a tadpole-shaped morphology, short life cycle, compact genome, small number of cells, invariant embryonic cell lineages, and fast development. It serves as a promising animal model for genetic manipulation and has been used in studies involving genome and transcriptomes, functional genetic knockdown techniques, and live imaging of embryos and larvae, providing insights into development and evolution in chordates.

Cardiopharyngeal deconstruction and ancestral tunicate sessility

Alfonso Ferrandez-Roldan et al.

Summary: The evolution of the appendicularian heart involved significant ancestral losses of cardiopharyngeal genes, leading to the deconstruction of the gene regulatory network and supporting a scenario where ancestral tunicates had a sessile ascidian-like adult lifestyle. These changes contributed to the acceleration of cardiogenesis and the redesign of the heart structure in appendicularians during their transition to a complete pelagic free-living style.

Telomere-to-telomere assembly of the genome of an individual Oikopleura dioica from Okinawa using Nanopore-based sequencing

Aleksandra Bliznina et al.

Summary: This study presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of the larvacean Oikopleura dioica using a hybrid approach of multiple sequencing technologies and chromosome conformation information. The assembly revealed complete autosomes as well as proposed sex chromosomes, allowing for cross-genome comparisons and studies of chromosomal evolution in this lineage.
