The origin of complex multicellularity was a major transition in evolution and is generally associated with higher genomic complexity. However, some complex multicellular fungi defy this principle, having small genomes that resemble those of unicellular yeasts rather than those of other complex multicellular organisms.
复杂多细胞生物的起源是进化中的一个重大转变,通常与更高的基因组复杂性相关。然而,一些复杂的多细胞真菌却违背了这一原则,它们的基因组很小,与单细胞酵母的基因组相似,而与其他复杂的多细胞生物的基因组不同。
