- Genome compaction in _Oikopleura_ and _Ciona_ have been reviewed in parallel
by [[Berná and Alvarez-Valin (2014)|biblio/25008364]].
- Chromatin domains are rarely longer than 7 nucleosomes ([[Navratilova et al., 2017|biblio/28115992]]).

- Expression of development genes is retarded by polyunsaturated aldehydes produced
by diatoms ([[Torres-Águila and coll., 2018|biblio/30272001]]).

Electron microscopy shows a large perikaryon, cisternas and a cilium which is inserted
in the central canal ([[Holmberg and Olsson, 1984|biblio/reissner_oik]]).
