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

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.

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, ...

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 ...

Bacteria are amongst the simplest of organisms - they are made of single cells. Their cell structure is simpler than the cells of animals, plants and fungi. Size Most are 5 μm - 100 μm.
