Evolution of selfish multicellularity: collective organisation of individual spatio-temporal regulatory strategies
Abstract Background The unicellular ancestors of modern-day multicellular organisms were remarkably complex. They had an extensive set of regulatory and signalling genes, an intricate life cycle and could change their behaviour in response to environmental changes. At the transition to multicellular...
