- A single ortholog of _Brachyury_ (_TBXT_, or _T_) was cloned by [[Bassham
and Postlethwait (2000)|biblio/10753519]]. Accession number:
[[AF204208|https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/AF204208]].
+ - 7 actin genes were found by [[Almazán and coll. (2018)|biblio/30217598]]. 4 of them are
+ muscular arouse after the separation of the appendicularian and ascidian lineages,
+ and 3 are cytoplasmic, one of them being intronless and possibly originated by
+ retrotransposition.
