The first animals evolved from an unknown single-celled ancestor in the Precambrian
period. Recently, the identification and characterization of the genomic and cellular traits of …

How animals evolved from a single-celled ancestor, transitioning from a unicellular lifestyle
to a coordinated multicellular entity, remains a fascinating question. Key events in this …

The emergence of animals from their unicellular ancestors is a major evolutionary event.
Thanks to the study of diverse close unicellular relatives of animals, we now have a better …

Protein post‐translational modifications (PTM s) allow the cell to regulate protein activity and
play a crucial role in the response to changes in external conditions or internal states …

To reconstruct the evolutionary origin of multicellular animals from their unicellular
ancestors, the genome sequences of diverse unicellular relatives are essential. However …

Abstract Background The Amoebozoa constitute one of the primary divisions of eukaryotes,
encompassing taxa of both biomedical and evolutionary importance, yet its genomic …

Background Metazoan multicellularity is rooted in mechanisms of cell adhesion, signaling,
and differentiation that first evolved in the progenitors of metazoans. To reconstruct the …

Multicellularity has evolved in several eukaryotic lineages leading to plants, fungi, and
animals. Theoretically, in each case, this involved (1) cell‐to‐cell adhesion with an …

Which genomic innovations underpinned the origin of multicellular animals is still an open
debate. Here, we investigate this question by reconstructing the genome architecture and …
