Summary: The genome of the basal choradate Ciona intestinalis contains a basic set of genes with less redundancy compared to the vertebrate genome. Extensive EST analyses, cDNA sequencing, and clustering yielded “ Ciona intestinalis Gene Collection Release 1,” which contains cDNA clones for 13,464 genes, covering nearly 85% of the Ciona mRNA species. This release is ready for use in cDNA cloning, micro/macroarray analysis, and other comprehensive genome‐wide analyses for further molecular studies of basal chordates. genesis 33:153–154, 2002. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
