Identification and characterization of microRNAs involved in ascidian larval metamorphosis

Abstract Background Metamorphosis takes place within the life cycle of most marine invertebrates. The marine ascidian is a classical model to study complex cellular processes and underlying molecular mechanisms involved in its larval metamorphosis. The detailed molecular signaling pathways remain el...
