While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

Endosymbioses have dramatically altered eukaryotic life, but are thought to have negligibly affected prokaryotic evolution. Here, by analysing the flows of protein families, I present evidence that ...

Transcriptomics is a powerful tool for understanding gene structures and RNA-based regulation in any organism. In contrast to the classical 'single gene' reductionist approach, in which biological ...
