Choanoflagellates are single-celled small protists living in marine or freshwater. Most of the recent molecular phylogenetic analyses strongly suggested that choanoflagellate is one of the closest living relatives of animals (metazoans). Our research group has recently determined the whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequences of a choanoflagellate, Monosiga ovata. Comparative genome analysis of M. ovata with animals, fungi, slime mold and plants suggested that choanoflagellates possess a large number of genes that had been thought to be involved in 'animal-specific signal transduction pathways'. The analysis also indicated that most of the orthologous genes of 'animal-specific transcription factors' were not observed in the choanoflagellate genome.
