Experimental evolution is not just for model organisms

In a new paper published in PLOS Biology, Dudin and colleagues evolve simple multicellularity in Sphaeroforma arctica, a unicellular relative of animals. This work establishes a new and open-ended avenue for examining the evolution of multicellularity in an important but understudied group of organi...

This work establishes a new and open-ended avenue for examining the evolution of multicellularity in an important but understudied group of organisms.
