Molecular switch found to control single-celled to multicellular transitions
Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single ...
Cooperation is a classic solution to hostile environments that limit individual survival. In extreme cases this may lead to the evolution of new types of biological individuals (e.g., eusocial ...
Chromosphaera perkinsii is a single-celled species discovered in 2017 in marine sediments around Hawaii. The first signs of its presence on Earth have been dated at over a billion years, well before ...
