Deskripsi
The undifferentiated Gonium pectorale represents the initial transition to multicellularity. Here, Bradley Olson, Erik Hanschen and colleagues describe the genome of Gonium pectorale, demonstrating that co-option of the retinoblastoma cell cycle regulatory pathway was a key genetic change in the evolution of multicellularity.
