Cell division in Asgard archaea

Complex cells likely arose from the merger of an archaeal host cell with a bacterial cell some 2 billion years ago. As a consequence, many of the most conserved features of eukaryotic cell biology have their origins in archaea. Read more

Feeling the heat: understanding the impact of high temperatures on future tree functioning under elevated CO2

Photosynthesis is a process vital to plant growth and is highly sensitive to temperature (Crous et al. 2022). When CO. 2. is high, plants close their leaf pores (stomata) to save water - but this traps heat and makes increases leaf temperatures (Fauset et al. Read more

Mechanism of transcription-coupled splicing

Accurate gene expression in eukaryotic cells requires tight coordination between transcription and pre-mRNA splicing. During transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II), the spliceosome removes introns from nascent RNAs co-transcriptionally. Read more
