Abstract excerpt
The small genome size and gene number of ascidians makes them an ideal model system in which to screen for conserved genes that regulate the development of chordates. Expression cloning has proven to be an effective strategy for isolating genes that play a role in embryogenesis. We have taken advantage of the large size and ease of manipulation of Xenopus embryos for use as an assay system to screen for...
