Scientists have long sought to understand why sea spiders keep some of their most important organs in their legs.

Inside every plant cell, an ancient struggle plays out. It is not dramatic like a predator-prey chase, but it is essential for life. DNA from chloroplasts – once free-living bacteria – still tries to ...

To the point DNA repair: Plants repair damaged DNA quickly to protect their genome. This repair provides protection against foreign DNA from chloroplasts. Genome stability: Research shows that rapid ...

All plants contain chloroplasts that convert sunlight into energy. Most animals depend on regular meals to survive. However, by retaining chloroplasts from algal cells, Elysia chlorotica can ...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) method resulted in a flood of genomic data (i.e., nuclear and organelle genomes) which provided deeper insights into the evolution of living organisms (including ...

The chloroplasts were sourced from red algae, while the animal cells were cultured from hamsters. Previous studies had found success in transplanting chloroplasts into yeast, granting them the new ...

A chloroplast-mimicking nanoreactor for enhanced CO₂ electrocatalysis Chloroplast, which is a double-membrane-bounded organelle, is the main site for CO2 fixation via photosynthesis in green plants.

The World’s Largest Animal Genome Belongs to an Odd, Air-Breathing Fish Scientists sequenced the 91 billion base pairs in the South American lungfish’s genome, setting a record and revealing ...

The research employed comparative genomics to analyze the chloroplast genomes of C. meiocarpa (CKX/XG) and C. oleifera (HZP), focusing on genome structures, repetitive sequences, IR region ...

Scientists have sequenced the largest known animal genome — and it's 30 times bigger than the human genome. The genome belongs to the South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa), a primeval ...

Accurate genome assemblies are crucial for understanding biological evolution, mechanisms of disease, and biodiversity. However, contamination from organelle genomes in nuclear genome analyses often ...

However, animal mitochondrial DNA deviated from this rule. In chloroplast and plant mitochondrial DNA, which obey Chargaff’s second parity rule, the lines of regression for G (purine) and C ...
