In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

eukaryotic — which have two different types of cells. An organism can be made up of either one type or the other. Some ...

A popular model of evolution concludes that it was incredibly unlikely for humanity to evolve on Earth, and that extraterrestrial intelligence is vanishingly rare.

Thanks to mitochondria, eukaryotic ancestors had enough energy to develop into the more complex eukaryotic cells known today. The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that ...

This is exactly what scientists suspect happened to form a whole new type of cell, the eukaryote, which thrived and subsequently diversified into the macroscopic array of life we see today, including ...

Planctomycetes challenge our concept of the bacterial cell and of a prokaryote as a cell structure type, as well as our ideas about origins of the eukaryote nucleus. Planctomycetes Are Important ...

“This is the most exciting and important paper on big questions about eukaryotic origins and the tree of life in years,” said evolutionary biologist Jeffrey Palmer of Indiana University, Bloomington, ...

Some of the funds will be used to develop multiomics solutions based on Atrandi's proprietary technology for single-cell ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

It makes sense that a virus could benefit from altering this critical piece of cell machinery, but there was just no evidence for it in any eukaryotic virus." Julie Thomy, lead author of the study ...
