Origins of Multicellularity Database
The Origins of Multicellularity project database provides access to multiple genomes sequenced to investigate commonalities and differences underlying multicellularity in animals and fungi. To understand the origins of multicellularity and animal-specific gene families relevant to human development, health and complex diseases, these features need to be tracked to their ancestral unicellular eukaryotes (protists). The project aims at filling, in a systematic manner, crucial gaps in the understanding of animal and fungal evolution, thus providing comprehensive data with which to conduct meaningful comparative genomic analyses of animals, fungi and their unicellular relatives.
