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.

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

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.

The paper decodes the compact genome of Dimorphilus gyrociliatus, revealing a conservative route to genome compaction with features similar to vertebrates.
