    The Gonium pectorale genome demonstrates co-option of cell cycle regulation during the evolution of multicellularity

    The transition to multicellularity has occurred numerous times in all domains of life, yet its initial steps are poorly understood. The volvocine green algae are a tractable system for understanding the geneti...
