This project investigates the evolution of cell adhesion mechanisms in the choanoflagellate Choanoeca flexa, a model organism for studying the origins of multicellularity. The research aims to understand how environmental factors influence cell adhesion during colony formation.
How animal multicellularity evolved from unicellular ancestors remains an open evolutionary question.
One key pre-requisite for the evolution of animal multicellularity was the evolution of cell adhesion.
However, little is known about how cell adhesion evolved in the animal stem.
In the last decades, considerable advances to reconstruct early animal evolution have come from investigations of the closest living unicellular relatives of animals, notably the choanoflagellates.
These microeukaryote…
