Brachyury (T) expression in embryos of a larvacean urochordate, Oikopleura dioica, and the ancestral role of T.

O. dioica contains a single ortholog of Brachyury (T, TBXT). Early expression appears restricted to notochord precursors. Later, subchordal cells, and even later, hindgut cells also express TBXT. Translated cDNA sequence was deposited under accession number AAG22592.
