Temporal expression patterns of 39 Brachyury‐downstream genes associated with notochord formation in the Ciona intestinalis embryo

Abstract
Expression of the Brachyury (Ci‐Bra) gene of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis is initiated at the 64‐cell stage. Gene expression is restricted to notochord precursor cells, and Ci‐Bra plays a key role...
