Oocytes of a single individual of Ciona intestinalis (Roscoff, France) were fertilized by a mixture of sperm of two individuals and development was followed microscopically. Embryos were snapfrozen in liquid nitrogen at the appropriate stage and kept at -80°C. Samples at stage 0, 8, 12, 15, 21, 26 were collected from the same fertilzation, while sample from stage 11 was independently collected from a different individual. Total RNA was prepared with the RNA II kit of Magerey Nagel and the quality was checked with the Bioanalyzer, all samples had a RIN value of higher than 9. Strand specific libraries were constructed and the sequencing (50PE) was performed with Illumina HiSeq 2000 technology (BGI, Hong Kong, China). Reads were aligned onto C.robusta genome and considered to reflect the expression of the C.robusta orthologous genes.

Dorsal view of the motor ganglion of a Ciona robusta late tailbud embryo co-electroporated with FGF8/17/18>mCherry (red nuclei) and En>unc76:YFP(Venus) (green) reporter constructs, FGF8/17/18>Eph3ΔC overexpression construct and treated with the MEK inhibitor U0126 from the early neurula stage.
Original annotation: Treatment of FGF8/17/18>Eph3ΔC-electroporated with U0126 at 6 hpf (20°C) mimics the phenotype of U0126 treatment alone: En reporter is abolished and four A11.117-like cells are specified (n=40/50). This suggests that Ephrin signaling operates upstream of and antagonistic to MAPK in cell fate choice.
Nuclei of the A9.30 lineage are visualized with mCherry (red) driven by the FGF8/17/18 driver.
