Rationale for gene selection and exclusion in Ciona modeling

Explains the reasoning behind selecting FCHO1, PGM3, and NCKAP1L for experimental modeling in Ciona, including the exclusion of other shortlisted genes due to lack of phenotype visibility, potential confounders like maternal expression, or unclear disease association.
