abstract：:The organization of troponin I (TnI) genes from the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi have been determined. Halocynthia possesses roughly two types of TnI isoforms. One type is a single-copied adult TnI (adTnI) gene, which contains eight exons and seven introns. adTnI expresses two isoforms, the shorter body wall muscle Tn...
