Article Synopsis
- Tunicates are a group of marine invertebrates closely related to vertebrates, consisting of larvaceans, thaliaceans, and ascidians, making them important for studying chordate development.
- Research on tunicates has revealed key features like consistent cell lineages during early development and overall simpler body structures compared to other chordates.
- Detailed studies, especially in ascidians, show that their gastrulation process differs significantly from vertebrates, as it relies mainly on endoderm invagination rather than the more complex movements seen in vertebrate embryos.
