While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

We often forget how wonderful it is that life exists, and what a special and unique phenomenon it is. As far as we know, ours ...

Analyzing 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences allows researchers to elucidate the prokaryotic composition of an environment. In recent years, third-generation sequencing technology has provided ...

Furthermore, we investigated the major environmental factors influencing the prokaryotic community structure and predicted potential functional profiles. The sequence database established in this ...

Cells are constantly on the move, whether in a developing embryo or metastatic cancer. But how do cells adapt to the new ...

Roughly 300,000 years ago, our species first appeared on the African landscape before spreading globally and coming to ...

Evo 2 now includes information from humans, plants, and other eukaryotic species to expand its capabilities in generative functional genomics.

Scientists have explored the Red Sea, where, according to the Bible, the prophet Moses parted the waters when he led the ...

Prokaryotic cell DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or more rings called plasmids.

Directed evolution is commonly performed in prokaryotic or yeast systems, but platforms are needed to enhance functions in mammalian cells. Now, a tool known as RNA replicase-assisted continuous ...

Mycoplasma contamination often comes from infected cultures shared between research labs. It can also sneak in through cell culture media and animal products used in cell culture. Even the lab team ...
