DNA’s ability to regulate separated genes gave birth to animals

One of the evolution unsolved enigmas was the emergence of animals coming from their unicellular ancestors, and what mechanisms were involved in the development of their complex bodies. Everything leads to the idea that the responsible genetic mechanisms for this successful evolution would be found in all the animal kingdom, including humans, but not in our unicellular ancestors, according to an article published in magazine Cell, where professor Iñaki Ruiz Trillo -from the Department of Genetics, Microbiology and Statistics and the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio) of the University of Barcelona- participates.
