Abstract

The multicellular green alga Volvox carteri and its morphologically diverse close relatives (the volvocine algae) are well suited for the investigation of the evolution of multicellularity and development. We sequenced the 138-mega-base pair genome of V. carteri and compared its similar to 14,500 predicted proteins to those of its unicellular relative Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Despite ...
