LIFE: Early Cells to Multicellularity

NASA’s LIFE Research Coordination Network brings together researchers to study life’s evolution from early cells and the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) through planetary biospheres, eukaryotic complexity, and differentiated multicellularity. LIFE integrates evolutionary and planetary-environment questions across disciplines and supports a holistic understanding of life’s history.
