- The tandem _propA_ and _propB_ genes control directly or indirectly _oik41a_
and proper development of the house-secreting epithelium ([[Mikhaleva et
al., 2018|biblio/30217597]]).
+ - The oral gland precursor is a syncytium with 4 nuclei that migrates
+ anteriorly. The two differentiated oral gland cells have two nuclei each,
+ as demonstrated by a co-staining of nuclei (H2B-mCherry) and cell membrane
+ (PH-YF) by [[Kishi and coll, 2014|biblio/25224225]].
+ - The endodermal strand is the strand of 16 cells that lie in a single line.
+ The endodermal cells strand migrate from the tail to the trunk and give
+ rise to the posterior part of the digestive tract (rectum), but not the anus.
+ Removal of the trunk suggests that it is not necessary for initiation of the
+ migration ([[Kishi and coll, 2014|biblio/25224225]]).
+ - The subchordal cell precursors migrate along the right side of the notochord
+ in the space that has been filled with endodermal strand cells. Amputation
+ experiments indicate that the posterior portion of the tail is required for
+ posterior migration of subchordal cell precursors ([[Kishi and coll,
+ 2014|biblio/25224225]]).
