- None of the genes encoding Bcl-2 proteins or their BH3-only ligands could be found
in _O. dioica_ [[Suraweera and coll., 2022|biblio/35409052]].
- Three caspases related to the CSP3/7 family were found by [[Weil and coll, 2005|biblio/15826240]].
+ - The classical Ras proteins were lost like in ascidians but their function was
+ probably taken over by other protein of the Ras-family [[Sánchez-Serna and coll. 2025|biblio/10.64898_2025.12.09.693154]].
