    Constraints on the G1/S transition pathway may favor selection of multicellularity as a passenger phenotype

    Tom Louis Ducrocq, Damien Laporte, Bertrand Daignan-Fornier
    A genetic analysis in yeast establishes that multicellularity can arise as a side-effect (passenger phenotype) of a completely independent fitness advantage unrelated to the benefits of group formation itself.
