Abstract
⺠Multiple mechanisms control the tapered shape of the ascidian notochord. ⺠Sibling cell volume asymmetries affect cell diameter along the AP axis. ⺠Cells at the ends intercalate first, giving them a head start on subsequent narrowing. ⺠Small AP differences in the rate of narrowing help to fine-tune the taper.
