2006), there is no clear correspondence between genome size and number of protein-coding genes—another indication that the number of genes in a eukaryotic genome reveals little about organismal ...

Researchers at the Arc Institute, Stanford University, and NVIDIA have developed Evo 2, an advanced AI model capable of predicting genetic variations and generating genomic sequences across all ...

In fact, the mere presence of a nucleus is considered one of the defining features of a eukaryotic cell. This structure is so important because it is the site at which the cell's DNA is housed and ...

This achievement represents the completion of the global Sc2.0 project to create the world's first synthetic eukaryotic genome from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) and a new-to-nature tRNA ...

It is the first time scientists have written a eukaryotic genome from scratch. Yeasts are a common workhorse of industrial biotechnological processes as they allow valuable chemicals to be produced ...

Too much time has passed since eukaryotes first appeared on the evolutionary scene, and too much DNA has been scrambled between too many groups, for scientists to piece everything together. But that ...

The team also found that, on average, Asgard archaea have a comparable number of defense systems per genome to other archaea and bacteria. However, some classes had a much lower ratio, including ...

Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean ...

Prokaryotic cells are simpler and lack the eukaryote's membrane-bound organelles and nucleus, which encapsulate the cell's DNA. Though more primitive than eukaryotes, prokaryotic bacteria are the ...

DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another -- are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism these ...

Genetic material DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or more rings ...
