Abstract
The recent decoding of a number of animal genomes has provided unprecedented information regarding evolution and gene structures, but this information must be supplemented with precise gene annotations and the temporal and spatial expression patterns of individual genes. In the present study, we systematically identified and characterized 566 zinc finger genes in the genome of Ciona intestinalis, an emerging model system for genome-wide studies of development and evolution. Of these genes, 356 genes encoded a potential transcription factor based on putative nucleic acid binding activity or domains of unknown function. We further examined the expression patterns of 225 genes during embryogenesis, and, when considered with a previous study [Imai, K.S., Hino, K., Yagi, K., Satoh, N., Satou, Y., 2004. Gene expression profiles of transcription factors and signaling molecules in the ascidian embryo: towards a comprehensive understanding of gene networks. Development 131, 4047-4058], we have characterized the developmental expression patterns of nearly 85% of the potential zinc finger-containing transcription factors. Overall, zinc finger genes are preferentially maternally expressed with little larval expression during development. T...Continue Reading
