 The login method has been changed since January 28, 2020. See "How to Request".
New price will be applied from October 1st, 2019, mainly due to the change on tax in Japan.
A fee for strains will be charged. (Refer to the Price List for the charges.)
Payment must be made by credit card (Diners Club, MasterCard or VISA).Please read the " How to Pay with a Credit Card" about the detailed credit-card payment method. MTA is valid for the academic year. (January 10th, 2012)

Construct
What's New
- March, 2023
- Genome editing constructs for mutating a gene encoding serine racemase.
- Expression vectors for dominant-negative Sar1.
- Reporter constructs.
- Strain data was added.
- Construct data was added.
- Publications page was updated.
- December 2022
- Our plasmid vector for genome editing was used for analyzing gene functions in Starfish. Our resources are always open for the use in organisms other than Ciona. Click here for details.
- October 2022
- The transcription factors responsible for the formation of endostyle (the organ suggested to be homologous to vertebrate thyroid gland) were reported. Our knockout vectors were used in this study. Click here for details.
- July 2022
- Ciona exhibits metamorphosis after adhesion to substrates with its adhesive organ. The mechanism sensing the mechanical stimuli generated by adhesion, and PKD2 homolog that is involved in this process were reported. Our transgenic lines, reporter constructs and knockout vectors were used in this study. Click here for details.
- March, 2022
- Functions of D-serine and serine racemase in Ciona was reported. Our reporter constructs and knockout vectors were used in this study. Click here for details.
-
New transgenic lines and plasmid vectors have been added in our project. We are waiting for your request.
About Ciona Intestinalis Transgenic line RESources
