This project explores the genetic mechanisms behind the evolution of multicellularity, particularly in cyanobacteria. It aims to investigate the relationship between the rise of atmospheric oxygen and the emergence of multicellular forms, utilizing phylogenomic studies and fossil analysis.
The origin of multicellularity is considered a major transition in the evolution of life.
It has independently evolved over 20 times in different pro- and eukaryote lineages.
Underlying genetic mechanisms are still far from being understood.
Moreover, it seems that the transition to multicellularity in cyanobacteria might have be correlated to the “Great Oxidation Event” (GOE), over 2.4 billion years ago.
Here, I propose an ambitious multidisciplinary project, (i) to study the genetic mechanis…
