Table 2. Classification scheme to evaluate the localization and/or expression patterns, which is based on the cell lineage analysis in ascidian embryo (5).
| 8-cell | 110-cell | Early tail bud |
|---|---|---|
| ISH_done | ISH_done | ISH_done |
| overall | overall | overall |
| mitochondria_like | mitochondria_like | mitochondria_like |
| a4.2 | epidermis | epidermis |
| b4.2 | brain | adhesive organ |
| A4.1 | nerve cord | brain |
| B4.1 | notochord | nerve cord |
| post plasmic RNA | muscle | notochord |
| mesenchyme | muscle | |
| Trunk lateral cell | mesenchyme | |
| Trunk ventral cell | endoderm | |
| endoderm | endodermal strand | |
| post plasmic RNA | post plasmic RNA |
post plasmic RNA, expressed in the posterior cytoplasms in a pair of posterior-vegetal cells; mitochondria_like, similar to the expression pattern of mitchondrial 16S ribosomal RNA; overall, expressed throughout the embryo; ISH_done, WISH was carried out.
