As you have seen, the state of chromatin structure at a specific region in eukaryotic DNA, along with the presence of specific transcription factors, works to regulate gene expression in eukaryotes.

Moreover, Martin adds, if the gradualist idea is correct, different lineages of eukaryotes should have fundamentally and measurably different collections of genes, but he has shown they do not.

It’s based on a protein called Fanzor, and this new finding is the first programmable RNA-guided system discovered in eukaryotes. The new RNA-editing system is described in a study published ...

The mystery genes turned up in the last decade when researchers, including Toni Gabaldón, an evolutionary genomicist at the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, and his colleagues took advantage of ...

Eukaryotic genes have structural features that make them less than perfect material for bacteria, but there may be other contributing factors as well. “Maybe eukaryotes don’t have the genes that ...

The eukaryotic cell emerged as an evolutionary algorithmic phase transition Eukaryogenesis happened abruptly, led by the tension of increasing gene length and the constraints on producing longer ...

The relationships between the immune systems of humans and bacteria are especially interesting, Whiteley says, because these four pathways are likely to have been passed to eukaryotes by horizontal ...

The first eukaryotic cells appeared around 1–1.5 billion years later. However, ... to an inbuilt bias for gene deletion, while eukaryotes do the opposite. In eukaryotes, ...

Alternative splicing is crucial for eukaryotic gene expression and influences protein function and regulation, with mis-splicing linked to numerous diseases. In this webinar, Dr. Megan L Noonan will ...
