EurekAlert!: Nature study identifies a molecular switch that controls transitions between single-celled and multicellular forms
Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single cells and forming multicellular structures. This ability to alternate ...

Science Daily: The egg or the chicken? An ancient unicellular says egg
Some single-celled organisms are known to transition to multicellularity during their lifetimes, usually either by cloning themselves or when many similar cells come together to form a larger ...
Phys.org: Single-celled organisms have more complex DNA epigenetic code than multicellular life, researchers discover
Unicellular organisms show surprising complexity In a paper appearing in Nature Genetics, researchers discover that in more "primitive" unicellular organisms, both the adenine and the cytosine bases ...
