There are microbes that live in very hot places. They have been found in hot springs and in underwater volcanoes. Other microbes live in very cold places, like Antarctica. Some microbes can even survive being frozen at tempuratures as low as -80 degrees Celsius. ...
Ion channels are located in the membranes of cells and regulate how charged particles called ions move in and out of the cell, a process that results in the electrical signals that are the foundation of communication in the nervous system. The Shaker family of ion channel...
英语翻译The earliest organisms,single-celled creatures called prokaryotes,which include bacteria,probably did not age but rather divided damaged material equally among new cells.There was not a parent cell,but rather the original cell divided int
Noisy gene expression is of fundamental importance to single cells, and is therefore widely studied in single-celled organisms. Extending these studies to multicellular organisms is challenging since their cells are generally not isolated, but individuals in a tissue. Cell–cell coupling via signalling...
These sponges co-existed with an enigmatic extinct group of large flat marine organisms called "Ediacaran fossils" that may have been ancestral to modern animal groups but might also have been a failed attempt at complex multicellular evolution....
The Drosophila eye is a powerful model system to study the dynamics of cell differentiation, cell state transitions, cell maturation, and pattern formation. However, a high-resolution single cell genomics resource that accurately profiles all major cell
but cell type-specific transcriptome-wide consequences of loss of function are unknown. When we compared DEGs for these perturbations, they form two major groups in accordance with known genetic interactions20,21,22. Moreover, the DEGs are enriched for biological processes and pathways involved in ...
The behavior of other, multicellular organisms can be explained by the interconnection of nerve cells. But a single-celled organism has no nerve cells – in this case, only extremely simple processing steps are possible within the cell. Until now, it was not clear how such a low d...
Metagenomics and single-cell genomics are powerful cultiva- tion-independent approaches for probing the nature of so-called 'dark matter' organisms by facilitating access to their genomes5,6. Although metagenomics has allowed the recovery of partial or nearly complete genomes from several candidate ...
The hybrid sequencing and analysis approach used here can be applied to other tissues and organisms to identify intact transcripts and novel isoforms. The functional enrichment of spiRNAs encoding for the protein components of ribosomes suggests a possible role for these transcripts. There are no ...
