Cryptomonad algae result from a secondary endosymbiotic event and retain their enslaved red algal nucleus as a minute nucleomorph, the smallest nuclear genome ... as how four genomes are ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

“It really does seem that human genome sequence data from somatic cells show signs of LGT events from bacteria, and so do cancer cells,” said Jonathan Eisen from University of California, Davis, who ...

View Full Profile. Learn about our Editorial Policies. For 1.5 billion years, the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes have been coevolving. Over this time, the mitochondrial genome became reduced, ...

Harvard University in the US and their collaborators used CRISPR prime editing to create multiple versions of human genomes in cell lines, each with different structural changes. Using genome ...

However, the mitochondrial genome differs from the nuclear genome in several ways (Taylor & Turnbull, 2005). Many interesting features distinguish human mitochondrial DNA from its nuclear ...
