The evolution of eukaryotic cells represents one of the most pivotal transitions in the history of life, marked by the emergence of cellular compartmentalisation and increased complexity.

Protists (eukaryotes, excluding animals, land plants, and fungi) comprise the bulk of the eukaryotic phylogenetic tree, ...

By employing DNA separation methods, we distinguished iDNA, which represents living cells, from eDNA derived from dead organisms. High-throughput sequencing was used to characterize bacterial and ...

The CEGR is composed of Cornell laboratories focused on understanding the mechanisms of gene regulation.

Our research on pathogenic eukaryotes focuses on the basic biology of these complex pathogens, such as protozoan parasites and fungi, and host interactions in response to their infection. We study ...

The protocol for detecting candidates for gene loss and divergence in S. cerevisiae. nrify is a program in the SEALS package that is used to generate a nonredundant protein database.

The study identified 230 new giant viruses and 530 novel functional proteins, shedding light on their interactions with ...
