Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Microbial life thrives in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Bacteria, archaea, and other microorganisms inhabit ...

The microbial communities that live in Yellowstone National Park are diverse and complex. The park is home to numerous fumaroles, geysers, and mud pots... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

AI model Evo-2 generates DNA sequences and analyses genomes Developed using 128,000 genomes, it predicts mutations Evo-2 could revolutionise genome engineering and research ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

Archaea are mentioned, but this kingdom is huge - there must be specific species that can be discussed where bolalipids are integral to archaeal life. The authors should go beyond 'extremophiles'. In ...

However, little is known about the dynamics of archaeal communities during mangrove restoration through phytoremediation. In this study, we investigated the physicochemical properties of sediment ...

Our results uncover the previously overlooked diversity and ecological potentials of a major archaeal virial group in global ocean and brackish waters and shed light on the cryptic evolutionary ...
