| Abstract |
Ascidians are increasingly being used as a system for investigating cell biology during development. The extreme genetic and cellular simplicity of ascidian embryos in combination with superior experimental tractability make this an ideal system for in vivo analysis of dynamic cellular processes. Transgenic approaches to cellular and sub-cellular analysis of ascidian development have begun to yield new insights into the mechanisms regulating developmental signaling and morphogenesis. This chapter focuses on the targeted expression of fusion proteins in ascidian embryos and how this technique is being deployed to garner new insights into the cell biology of development. |
