Alex de Mendoza, Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo

Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial › peer-review

Abstract

A genetic screen has revealed one of the molecules that allow choanoflagellates, the closest unicellular relative of animals, to form colonies, which could help researchers to answer questions about the earliest days of animal evolution.
