The endoderm cell trajectory of urochordate Styela clava reveals the dual developmental origin and evolution of digestive tract

Yonghang Ge, Wei Zhang, Penghui Liu…·Jiankai Wei

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to trace endoderm cell trajectories in Styela clava, revealing dual origins of the digestive tract and conserved regulatory programs across chordates.
