The genomic diversity of eukaryotic microorganisms ... physiologically regulated in the ciliate MAC genome might have had a fortuitous role during evolution, by providing a mechanism to tolerate ...

Work in the Katz lab aims to elucidate principles of eukaryotic evolution through phylogenetic reconstruction, community sampling and analyses of genome evolution. The bulk of eukaryotic diversity is ...

Roksana Riddle and Christopher H. Contag from Michigan State University discuss the concept of endosymbiosis, how it has ...

For the first time ever, a synthetic eukaryotic genome has been created. By taking yeast cells and rebuilding their genomes, scientists were able to create a yeast that more resilient and produced ...

Despite recent advances in the study of eukaryogenesis, much remains unresolved about the origin and evolution of the most complex domain of life ... some of the defining characteristics of modern ...

Over time, these constant pressures shape genome architecture, driving rapid evolution in genes associated with reproductive success. This may affect the voice, body size, plumage or other feature ...

Such transfer “is happening all the time,” he says. A new mitochondrial fragment appears in the nuclear genome once in every 4,000 births. The study has broad implications for eukaryotic evolution, ...
