    Syst Biol 49:52-64. 2000
    ..Nevertheless, the present data set resolves at least three clades of urochordates and suggests strongly that urochordates form a monophyletic clade within the deuterostomes...

    Science 274:1205-8. 1996
    ..Antisense oligodeoxynucleotide treatment inhibited Manx expression and chordate features in hybrid embryos, which suggests that Manx is required for development of the chordate larval phenotype in ascidians...

    Department of Biology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA
    Mol Biol Evol 16:646-54. 1999
    ..oculata and M. occulta live buried in subtidal sand flats, our results suggest that the anural larva evolved at least twice in the Roscovita clade of molgulid ascidians as an adaptation to different habitats...
