Single cell sequencing during the entire life cycle reveals cell type diversity in Oikopleura dioica, and pools of genes expressed in the house-producing epithelium

Anthony Léon, Simon Henriet, David Lagman, Sara Barberan-Martin, Astrid Canal, Gaelle Alleon, Cyprille Lenfant, Anne Aasjord, Daniel M. Chourrout

The paper uses single-cell sequencing to study gene expression during the life cycle of Oikopleura dioica, identifying cell types and genes involved in house-producing epithelium development.

Deployment of non-canonical splicing in tunicate genomes is mediated by divergent U2AF function and re-patterning of snRNA m6A modification

Tze Chiew Christie Soo, Anthony Léon, Eugénie Waymel, Aubin Barais, Benjamin Porta, Daniel M. Chourrout, Simon Henriet

The paper shows how non-canonical splicing in tunicates is mediated by divergent U2AF function and changes in snRNA m6A modification.

Pax37 gene function in Oikopleura dioica supports a neuroepithelial-like origin for its house-making Fol territory

David Lagman, Anthony Léon, Nadia Cieminska, Wei Deng, Marios Chatzigeorgiou, Simon Henriet, Daniel M. Chourrout

The paper investigates Pax37A and Pax37B roles in Oikopleura dioica OE development using CRISPR-Cas9 and scRNA-seq, finding Pax37B is essential for Fol cell differentiation and revealing neuroepithelial-like features.
