Abstract excerpt
The evolution from unicellular to multicellular organisms facilitates further phenotypic innovations, notably cellular differentiation. Multiple research groups have shown that, in the laboratory, simple, obligate multicellularity can evolve from a unicellular ancestor under appropriate selection. However, little is known about the extent to which deterministic factors such as ancestral genotype and environmental...
