In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

The expression of many eukaryotic genes is regulated at the level of translation initiation. The first step in the initiation process is binding of the small ribosomal subunit (40S) to the mRNA.

This is the first eukaryotic virus (a virus that infects eukaryotes, such as plants, animals, fungi) found to encode such a ...

SA2, encodes one of the proteins needed to make ribosomes, the central engines in all cells that translate genetic information into proteins, the building blocks of life. This is the first eukaryotic ...

Advanced tools and expanded fossil datasets have painted a clearer picture of the eukaryotic diversity of the Proterozoic eon ...

NANJING, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- An international team led by Chinese paleontologists has made significant advances in understanding early life evolution by mapping out, for the first time, a ...

This valuable research contributes to our understanding of marine plankton diversity and gene expression by employing robust methodologies for sample collection and analysis. However, it lacks a ...

All major life processes like respiration, digestion and reproduction are carried out within the single cell. There are ...

Advanced tools and expanded fossil datasets have painted a clearer picture of the eukaryotic diversity of the Proterozoic eon, which has been hard to quantify. The findings show that Earth's severe ...

Protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells--found in plants, animals, and fungi--involves more than just the straightforward ...

Genetic material DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or more rings ...
