-(work in progress)
-
- [[Yokobori and coll, 1993|biblio/8381878]] sequenced _cox1_ in
_Halocynthia roretzi_ and suggested that it may use a different
genetic code. The same year, [[Durrheim and coll. |biblio/8393993]] made
- Another case, unrelated, of reassignment to glycin is know: UGA -> Gly in
SR1 bacteria ([[Campbell and coll, 2013|biblio/23509275]]).
+### Gene order
+
- _cox2_ and _cytb_ are usually adjascent in tunicates, but they were found
to be separated in the ascidians _Herdmania momus_ ([[Singh and coll,
2009|biblio/19922605]]) or _Lissoclinum patella_ ([[Kwan and coll,
2014|biblio/24788869]]).
-To read: Durrheim/8393993 (P. stol code), Gissi/12915488 (alt. start codon)
+### Transcription
+
+ - EST data shows the presence of polycistronic precursor and mature RNAs
+ ([[Gissi & Pessole, 2003|biblio/12915488]]).
