Multicellular organisms (animals, plants, humans) all have the ability to methylate the cytosine base in their DNA. This ...

Scientists discover microRNAs in the unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This is the first finding of microRNAs in a unicellular organism. An international collaboration of researchers, ...

Chromosphaera perkinsii is a single-celled species discovered in 2017 in marine sediments around Hawaii. The first signs of its presence on Earth have been dated at over a billion years, well before ...

A ubiquitous but little-known marine organism, the choanoflagellate, is the last one-celled ancestor of humans and provides insight into how cells learned to assemble into multicelled organisms. The ...

The oceans are home to innumerable creatures, from minute bacteria to the mighty blue whale. Amid this, there are various unicellular organisms which exist. These organisms have a single cell, which ...

An international team of researchers has achieved an unprecedented milestone: the creation of mouse stem cells capable of generating a fully developed mouse using genetic tools from a unicellular ...

Multicellular organisms (animals, plants, human) all have the ability to methylate the cytosine © base in their DNA. This ...

Molecular cloning is usually carried out on one gene or small DNA segment at a time. However, cloning technology has advanced to the stage that scientists have begun cloning genomes of entire ...

The transition to multicellularity enabled the evolution of large, complex organisms, but early steps in this transition remain poorly understood. Here we show that multicellular complexity, including ...

This new research indicates that targeting of methylation on the adenine base in unicellular organisms could be a way in ...

Berkeley -- The newly sequenced genome of a one-celled, planktonic marine organism, reported today (Thursday, Feb. 14) in the journal Nature, is already telling scientists about the evolutionary ...
