摘要：

The fertilized egg of ascidians develops quickly into a tadpole-type larva consisting of several distinct types of tissues including epidermis, central nervous system, endoderm; mesenchyme, notochord, and muscle. This architecture of the ascidian larva represents the most simplified chordate body plan. Taking advantage of simple, well-defined cell lineages, the expression of developmental genes is analyzed at single-cell level. Advances in the methodology promote the ascidian embryo as a useful system for studying transcriptional control involved in the specification of embryonic cells and pattern formation of the embryo.
