Plankton are the invisible engines of life on Earth, producing much of the planet's oxygen and forming the foundation of the oceanic food chain. They are also incredibly diverse, with tens of thousands of species described ...
Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals surprising similarities. That's because we share a common ancestor called LECA (last eukaryotic common ...
A study led by researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of Adelaide has revealed how the breakup of an ancient supercontinent 1.5 billion years ago transformed Earth's surface environments, paving the ...
The secretory pathway in eukaryotic cells is crucial for maintaining cellular function and physiological activities, as it ensures the accurate transport of proteins to specific subcellular locations or for secretion outside ...
Université de Strasbourg and partners report that adding structural variants and small insertion–deletion mutations to single-nucleotide polymorphism analyses raised trait heritability estimates by 14.3% and uncovered broader ...
Recent advances in long-read sequencing techniques have produced large amounts of high-quality rRNA marker gene data about eukaryotic organisms, but many of these taxa have remained unknown at the highest taxonomic levels: ...
An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease.
Peroxidases are enzymes that break down hydrogen peroxide in organisms. Since their discovery in 1998, the electron source of "peroxiredoxin 6-type" peroxidases for this reaction remained unclear. The research group of Professor ...
Researchers from the University of Cologne and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf have identified a new ubiquitin form dedicated to proteostasis and healthy aging. They show that CxUb (C-terminally extended ubiquitin), ...
Researchers at Integra Therapeutics, in collaboration with the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) Department of Medicine and Life Sciences (MELIS) and the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG), have designed and experimentally validated ...
