In a groundbreaking achievement, doctors have successfully treated a baby boy with a life-threatening genetic disorder using ...

The mystery of life’s beginnings has long captivated scientists. Central to that search is LUCA—the last universal common ...

The first functional characterization of the insertion sequences (ISs) present in the genome of a Sulfolobus species has recently been published in Molecular Microbiology. The importance of mobile ...

The NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline is designed to annotate bacterial and archaeal genomes (chromosomes and plasmids). Genome annotation is a multi-level process that includes prediction ...

The successful candidate will be part of the CBS and will conduct research in the field of genomics of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms to better ... how they evolve and how they function at the ...

coli populations demonstrated that reducing entropy promoted the effective plasmid transfer rate. Analysis of prokaryotic genome data suggested that plasmids and antibiotic resistance genes were ...

4-Innovative genome-enabled cultivation strategies ... This "microbial dark matter" comprises diverse prokaryotic organisms that remain elusive to traditional isolation techniques. To overcome this ...

Inside those 2,600 blueprints are membrane pumps, DNA‑repair crews, and all the ingredients for ... “Our study showed that LUCA was a complex organism, not too different from modern prokaryotes. What ...

When representing the evolution of the average protein lengths versus their corresponding gene lengths across different species, it is observed that they evolve simultaneously in prokaryotes ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Eukaryogenesis occurred suddenly, driven by the growing length of genes and the limitations on producing longer proteins. An ...
