A eukaryote is any cell or organism that possesses a clearly defined nucleus. Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans.

Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean acidification reduces primary production, the process of photosynthesis in ...

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, and lysosomes.

Asgard archaea may have led to the evolution of eukaryotic life ETH Zurich researchers identify actin and microtubule ...

Despite recent advances in the study of eukaryogenesis, much remains unresolved about the origin and evolution of the most complex domain of life. Amanda was an associate editor at The Scientist, ...

Cell-free systems, which can express an easily detectable protein with a DNA or mRNA template without constraints of living ...

Asgard archaea emerged as a key piece in the puzzle of how complex life evolved, acting as a potential link between simple archaea and eukaryotes—organisms like plants and animals whose cells contain ...

After a year teaching an algorithm to differentiate between the echolocation calls of different bat species, Katarina decided she was simply too greedy to focus on one field. Following an internship ...

(a) Within this simple eukaryotic transcriptional unit, a simple core promoter (TATA), an upstream activator sequence (UAS), and a silencer element are spaced within 100 to 200 base pairs of the ...

Artificial cells using riboswitch-gene fusion in liposomes produce fluorescent proteins when detecting specific targets.
