Overview

In the late 1990s, new genes and their proteins that revealed striking new insights into the early evolution of multicellular animals have been identified and characterized from members of the lowest metazoan phylum, the porfera (sponges). The result was that the sequences obtained from sponge displayed high similarity to those found in metazoa, and it was concluded that during the transition from protozoa to metazoa the major structural and regulatory proteins evolved only once. The data gathered forms an argument to establish monophyly of metazoa; in addition, new insights on the evolutionary diversification of metazoa were obtained.
