Unnecessary sequences called 'introns' are removed from gene transcripts. But where do they come from? | Genetics And ...

Life on Earth reached a decisive turning point about 2.6 billion years ago. An international team of researchers has just ...

Scientists knew from previous studies that eukaryotes had evolved by this time, but their diversity in this era was poorly understood. So Riedman headed to the Outback in late 2019. Within one ...

Two important concepts in evolutionary biology, mutualism and altruism, were first made famous by the colorful anarchist ...

UC Santa Cruz researchers discover that "introners," transposable elements, are responsible for spreading noncoding DNA ...

The team systematically scanned more than 3,300 genomes from across the full breadth of eukaryotic diversity — everything from sheep to sequoias to ciliate protists. They used a series of ...

The bulk of eukaryotic diversity is microbial, with plants, animals and fungi representing only three of some 60–200 lineages of eukaryotes. Many of these microbial lineages are understudied, yet the ...

Daniel Mills, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München During this time, some of the defining characteristics of modern eukaryotic cells—the nucleus, mitochondria, cytoskeleton, cell membrane, and ...

In two additional nutrient-enrichment experiments, the addition of nitrate alleviated the negative effects of acidification on eukaryotic phytoplankton growth and increased community diversity.
