Pattern of settlement and natural chimerism in the colonial urochordate Botryllus schlosseri.

Genetica - 1 Jan 2008

Ben-Shlomo Rachel, Motro Uzi, Paz Guy, Rinkevich Baruch

Abstract excerpt

Colonies of the cosmopolitan urochordate Botryllus schlosseri that share one or both alleles at a single allorecognition locus (Fu/HC) and come into tissue contacts, may fuse and form a mixed entity, a chimera. Botryllus populations worldwide exhibit unprecedented extensive polymorphism at this locus, a result that restricts fusions to kin encounters. This study aims to compare spatiotemporal configurations in...
