Even fairly deep sequencing of randomly selected cDNA clones fails to elucidate the structures of the 20–40% of genes in a typical eukaryotic genome that are expressed only at low levels or ...

Differentiate between a gene and an allele. Diagram a typical eukaryotic gene and indicate the locations of (a) regions that are genic but are not coding, (b) regions that are transcribed but not ...

the proteins decouple from the multiplicative process of gene growth, and the average protein length stabilizes after the onset of the eukaryotic cell at about 500 amino acids in a clear threshold ...

Some four billion years ago, when cellular life emerged, a typical primordial microbe ... species (known collectively as eukaryotes), protein-coding genes are nestled in vast stretches of DNA ...

Genetic studies have made it clear that eukaryotic horizontal gene transfer can and does happen. Exactly how, though, remains speculative. For foreign DNA to make it into a eukaryotic cell’s genome, ...

This process has been an important factor in eukaryotic evolution, yet the number and timing of these events remains unresolved. One of the main results of secondary endosymbiosis has been the ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a new biological editing system that could potentially be even more precise than CRISPR gene editing. It’s based on a protein called Fanzor, and this new ...
