The multicellularity genes of dictyostelid social amoebas

Unicellular social amoebae aggregate to form a multicellular life stage, making them a model system for the evolution of multicellularity. Here, Glöckner et al.use a comparative genomic and transcriptomic approach to determine the origin of the genes essential for multicellularity in the social amoe...

Sumario:Unicellular social amoebae aggregate to form a multicellular life stage, making them a model system for the evolution of multicellularity. Here, Glöckner et al.use a comparative genomic and transcriptomic approach to determine the origin of the genes essential for multicellularity in the social amoebae.
