Hello, I'm having trouble finding housekeeping genes in the Ctenephoras using BLAST ( I'm specifically interested in mnemiopsis leidyi and in pleurobrachia bachei but I tried the whole phyla). Can anyone recommend a specific HKG I should check? Is there a solution to this?
There are several papers that may be useful:
The ctenophore genome and the evolutionary origins of neural systems
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v510/n7503/full/nature13400.html
Error, signal, and the placement of Ctenophora sister to all other animals
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4426464/
A book chapter:

Thank you very much for the help
