+Oikopleura
+==========
+
+_Oikopleura dioica_ is a tunicate plankton.  Thus, it belongs to the same
+"chordate" phylum as us.  Its genome is very small, as each cell only contains
+70 fg of DNA ([Animal Genome Size Database](http://www.genomesize.com/result_species.php?id=1308)).
+

+
+Transcriptome
+-------------
+
+ - Some genes are organised in operons.  A 5′ splice leader is found in some RNAs.
+   The SL gene is found downstream of the 5S RNA gene, which is repeated multiple
+   times in the genome ([[Ganot et al., 2004|biblio/15314184]]).
