Ciona
''Ciona'' is a genus of tunicate, sea squirts in the family Cionidae. The body of ''Ciona'' is bag-like and covered by a tunica (biology), tunic, which is a secretion of the Squamous epithelium, epidermal cells. The body is attached at a permanent base located at the posterior part, and the opposite bears two openings, the Cheek, buccal (Mouth, oral) and atrial (cloacal) siphon (mollusc), siphons. The water is drawn into the ascidian through the buccal siphon and leaves the wikt:atrium, atrium through the atrial siphon. Species Species in this genus include: * ''Ciona antarctica'' * ''Ciona edwardsi'' * ''Ciona fascicularis'' * ''Ciona gelatinosa'' * ''Ciona hoshinoi'' * ''Ciona imperfecta'' * ''Ciona intermedia'' * ''Ciona intestinalis'' * ''Ciona longissima'' * ''Ciona mollis'' * ''Ciona pomponiae'' * ''Ciona robusta'' * ''Ciona roulei'' * ''Ciona savignyi'' * ''Ciona sheikoi'' Genome projects As of 2008, the genomes of ''Ciona intestinalis''P. Dehal et al.: ''T ...

Ciona Robusta
''Ciona robusta'' is a species of marine invertebrate in the genus '' Ciona'' of the family Cionidae. The holotype was collected on the northeastern coast of Honshu Island, Japan. Populations of '' Ciona intestinalis'' known as '' Ciona intestinalis'' type A found in the Mediterranean Sea, the Pacific Ocean, east coast of North America, and the Atlantic coasts of South Africa South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa (RSA), is the Southern Africa, southernmost country in Africa. It is bounded to the south by of coastline that stretch along the Atlantic Ocean, South Atlantic and Indian Oceans; to the ... have been shown to be ''Ciona robusta''. ''Ciona robusta'' is a delineation of ''C. Intestinalis.'' In the early 2000s, molecular research concluded that ''C. intestinalis'' was composed of four distinct lineages named type A, B, C and D. ''Conia intestinalis type A'' was later reclassified as ''C. robusta''. It was not until 2015 that the four different cla ...

Ciona Intestinalis
''Ciona intestinalis'' (sometimes known by the common name of vase tunicate) is an ascidian (sea squirt), a tunicate with very soft tunic. Its Latin name literally means "pillar of intestines", referring to the fact that its body is a soft, translucent column-like structure, resembling a mass of intestines sprouting from a rock. It is a globally distributed cosmopolitan species. Since Linnaeus described the species, ''Ciona intestinalis'' has been used as a model invertebrate chordate in developmental biology and genomics. Studies conducted between 2005 and 2010 have shown that there are at least two, possibly four, sister species. More recently it has been shown that one of these species has already been described as ''Ciona robusta''. By anthropogenic means, the species has invaded various parts of the world and is known as an invasive species. Although Linnaeus first categorised this species as a kind of mollusk, Alexander Kovalevsky found a tadpole-like larval stage during ...

Ciona Edwardsi
''Ciona'' is a genus of sea squirts in the family Cionidae. The body of ''Ciona'' is bag-like and covered by a tunic, which is a secretion of the epidermal cells. The body is attached at a permanent base located at the posterior part, and the opposite bears two openings, the buccal (oral) and atrial ( cloacal) siphons. The water is drawn into the ascidian through the buccal siphon and leaves the atrium through the atrial siphon.
