DOI: 10.1186/s12915-021-01087-0
Abstract: Background The volvocine algae, which include the single-celled species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and the colonial species Volvox carteri , serve as a model in which to study the evolution of multicellularity and cellular differentiation. Studies reconstructing… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.787665
Abstract: The evolution of multicellularity is a major evolutionary transition that underlies the radiation of many species in all domains of life, especially in eukaryotes. The volvocine green algae are an unconventional model system that holds… read more here.
