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.

Nevertheless, eukaryotic genes seem to differ in their origins. The majority are most closely related to bacterial homologs, whereas a minority appear to be of archaeal origin (Esser et al. 2004).

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 ...

Dr. Irwin explained to Medical News Today that the researchers “used computational analyses to search for evidence of transferred genes in the genomes of around 200 eukaryotes and thousands of ...

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 ...

As Lane and Martin say, “Put another way, a eukaryotic gene commands some 200,000 times more energy than a prokaryotic gene.” The eukaryotic genome is like a gas-guzzling monster truck ...

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 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, ...
