Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton ...

"Sinkholes are most common in what geologists call, 'karst terrain'," the US Geological Survey explains. "These are regions ...

The discovery of a previously underestimated capability in archaeal, one of the three primary domains of life, is changing our comprehension of energy generation and the origins of eukaryotic life.

AI model Evo-2 generates DNA sequences and analyses genomes Developed using 128,000 genomes, it predicts mutations Evo-2 could revolutionise genome engineering and research ...

“This process is likely applicable to many cell types, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, that break down environmental factors and generate their own gradient to chase,” Emonet said. “Our findings ...

The first version of the model, released last year, was trained on the genomes of 80,000 bacteria and archaea — simple organisms called prokaryotes — as well as those of their viruses and ...

Evo 2 moves beyond single-cell genomes of bacteria and archaea to include information from humans, plants, and other more complex single-celled and multi-cellular species in the eukaryotic domain ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. Published as part of Journal of Proteome Research special issue ...

Prokaryotes are unicellular and lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They are generally smaller and simpler and include bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotes on the other hand are often ...

The nitrogen cycle is the system by which nitrogen is converted into different chemical forms, some usable to humans and animals and some not, as it circulates among the atmosphere, the land and the ...
