Abstract

Going Multicellular The volvocine algae include both the unicellular Chlamydomonas and the multicellular Volvox , which diverged from one another 50 to 200 million years ago. Prochnik et al. (p. 223 ) compared the Volvox genome with that of Chlamydomonas to identify any genomic innovations that migh...
