Genome-wide strengthening of evolutionary constraint across the volvocine multicellularity gradient

2026-07-03

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary cost of maintaining somatic cell populations has been hypothesised to drive proteome-wide strengthening of constraint on coding sequence at the origin of multicellularity. Prior work on the volvocine clade has reported lower d_N/d_S in colonial than in unicellular relatives on 55 chloroplast genes (Hu et al. 2019) and on 105 nuclear single-copy orthogroups across colonial species (Hu et al. 2020),...
