Newly Discovered Organism Could Represent a Whole New Branch in The Tree of Life It's not every day that biologists announce an entirely new branch of life, and this...

A newly indetified marine eukaryote which seems to be a unique (potential ancient) branch of life 🙂

Persistent mirusvirus infection in the marine protist Aurantiochytrium - Nature Communications Mirusviruses were detected in metagenomic datasets, but little is known about how they infect their hosts. Here, the authors characterize mirusviruses in the marine protist Aurantiochytrium,…

Deep origin of eukaryotes outside Heimdallarchaeia within Asgardarchaeota - Nature Ancestral reconstruction together with molecular dating of the last Asgard archaea and eukaryote common ancestor suggest that eukaryotes arose from the fusion of a H2-consuming archaeal host and a H2-...

Deep origin of eukaryotes outside Heimdallarchaeia within Asgardarchaeota
Are eukaryotes a sister clade to Heimdallarchaeia or part of the lineage? A new extended dataset points to the former.

Baker’s yeast: Three surprising things you might not know Rochester biologist Justin Fay studies the complex ancestry of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, also known as baker’s or brewer’s yeast.

For today's #Science #Trivia #Saturday: #Yeast! Saccharomyces cerevisiae, aka #Bakers or #Brewers Yeast, was the first #Eukaryote to have its #Genome sequenced. #Human #Migration & #Dispersal significantly impacted its #Evolutionary trajectory, combining unique strains from around the world. 🧪

🦠 Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic Cell Components 🧬

🔹 Both:

Cell membrane 🏗️ (Barrier)

Cytoplasm 🌊 (Fluid)

Ribosomes 🏗️ (Protein makers)

DNA 🧬 (Genetic code)

🔹 Eukaryotes Only:

Nucleus 🧠 (DNA storage)

Mitochondria ⚡ (Energy)

Golgi & ER 📦 (Transport)

🦠 #Prokaryotes vs. #Eukaryotes 🧬

🔹 #Prokaryote – Simple, no nucleus, DNA floats in the cytoplasm. 🏞️ Small, unicellular (bacteria & archaea).

🔹 #Eukaryote – Complex, nucleus, membrane-bound organelles. 🏛️ Found in plants, animals, fungi, & protists.

Life’s 2 blueprints! 🧪

If I can cheekily be a little critical, there were moments where there was a bit too much of a love-in for the #microbial, and an over-egging of their scale in the #biosphere. Remember: most biomass (~70%) is in the form of #eukaryote #LandPlants.

I'm very excited to say that a labor of love has finally been published. My coauthors and I report a beautiful assemblage of microfossils older than 1.65 billion years that show eukaryotes were complex and diverse by then. #protistsonsky #eukaryote
