Seeing chordate evolution through the Ciona genome sequence.

Institute of Neuroscience, 1254 University of Oregon, 1425 E, 13th Avenue, Eugene, OR 97403, USA.

A draft sequence of the compact genome of the sea squirt Ciona intestinalis, a non-vertebrate chordate that diverged very early from other chordates, including vertebrates, illuminates how chordates originated and how vertebrate developmental innovations evolved.
