Heritable germ and somatic cell lineage competitions in chimeric colonial protochordates.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 Aug 1999

Stoner D S, Rinkevich B, Weissman I L

Abstract excerpt

Theories of evolution that state natural selection acts on individuals have been modified to include multiple levels of selection. Here we demonstrate in chimeric protochordates that primitive germ cell (pgc) and somatic cell (psc) lineages have traits that also make them likely units of natural selection. Specifically, by using microsatellites to determine the genetic identity of various somatic and gametic...
