In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Imagine you open up the hood of your car and take a look inside. You see an engine, the battery, various fluid reservoirs; ...

The eukaryotic cell, the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth, emerged as a phase transition and unlocked the path toward other major transitions ...

In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of ...

Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex life, their defining feature being the presence of membrane-bound organelles. This article details the structure of eukaryotic cells and provides ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life.

The theory is supported by recent efforts to uncover the identity of our most recent prokaryotic ancestor — the ancient cell that first enclosed a bacterium, resulting in the eukaryotic cell type.

Elizabeth Kellogg, PhD, St. Jude Department of Structural Biology, used cryo-EM to study the evolutionary journey of Fanzor2, a compact eukaryotic genome-editing protein with huge potential.
