New research sheds light on one of the biggest questions in biology: where did complex life come from? The answer may lie with Asgard archaea, a group of ancient single-celled microbes that share ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Ocean acidification in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters reduces primary production by about 10%, impacting the global carbon cycle. Eukaryotic ...

This manuscript describes the mapping of natural DNA sequence variants that affect gene expression and its noise, as well as cell cycle timing, using as input single-cell RNA-sequencing of progeny ...

Mesoscale eddies play an important role in ocean energy and material transport. However, the effect of eddies on bacterial and eukaryotic community and their ecological effects remains unclear, ...

Unlike most infectious agents—such as viruses or bacteria—that contain genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA, a prion is simply an aggregate of misfolded proteins. Although they are not living ...
