Genetics of a de novo origin of undifferentiated multicellularity [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 The evolution of multicellularity was a major transition in evolution and set the stage for unprecedented increases in complexity, especially in land plants and animals.

Green Algal Models for Multicellularity.
Annual Review of Genetics, 2021 The repeated evolution of multicellularity across the tree of life has profoundly affected the ecology and evolution of nearly all life on Earth. Many of these origins were in different groups of photosynthetic eukaryotes, or algae.

Selective drivers of simple multicellularity.
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2021 In order to understand the evolution of multicellularity, we must understand how and why selection favors the first steps in this process: the evolution of simple multicellular groups.

Cryptic surface-associated multicellularity emerges through cell adhesion and its regulation.
PLoS Biology, 2021 The repeated evolution of multicellularity led to a wide diversity of organisms, many of which are sessile, including land plants, many fungi, and colonial animals.

Origin and evolution of animal multicellularity in the light of phylogenomics and cancer genetics
Medical Oncology, 2022 The rise of animals represents a major but enigmatic event in the evolutionary history of life. In recent years, numerous studies have aimed at understanding the genetic basis of this transition.

Epigenetics decouples mutational from environmental robustness. Did it also facilitate multicellularity? [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2014 The evolution of ever increasing complex life forms has required innovations at the molecular level in order to overcome existing barriers. For example, evolving processes for cell differentiation, such as epigenetic mechanisms, facilitated the ...

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Background The unicellular ancestors of modern-day multicellular organisms were remarkably complex. They had an extensive set of regulatory and signalling genes, an intricate life cycle and could change their behaviour in response to environmental ...

Development, 2022 A complete picture of signaling pathway to multicellularity is largely unknown. Previously, we generated mutations in a protein prenylation enzyme, GGB, and showed it is essential in maintaining multicellularity in the moss Physcomitrium patens (Thole et

The evolution of complex multicellularity in animals
Biology & Philosophy, 2022 The transition to multicellularity is perhaps the best-studied of the “major evolutionary transitions”. It has occurred independently multiple times within the eukaryotes alone, and multicellular organisms comprise virtually the entirety of Earth’s ...
