Lateral gene transfer between early microbial communities ... a specific function critical to the cell's survival (Table 1). Table 1. The structure and function of key eukaryotic cell structures.

Computational prediction of gene structure is crucial for interpreting ... the structures of the 20–40% of genes in a typical eukaryotic genome that are expressed only at low levels or under ...

However, the structure of chromatin also appears to serve a second, possibly more important role, in that it gives eukaryotic cells the capability to exert complex levels of control over gene ...

In a study published two years ago in Nature, the ETH group examined the cellular structure ... genes. The function of these tubulins—and the reason for their rarity—remains a mystery. In ...

Eukaryotes and archaea have long been considered “sister groups” based on similarities in their genes and metabolic pathways. But it wasn’t clear whether eukaryotes and archaea shared a common ...

Real-time PCR gene expression quantification is particularly useful in oncology research for biomarker discovery and monitoring therapeutic response, but eukaryotic gene expression is one of the most ...
