A microbiome is a community of microorganisms that inhabit an ecological niche. Microbiomes exist in both environmental biotopes, for example, a water body or forest soil - and in living multicellular ...
This study is led by Dr. Ying Yan (Institute of Evolution & Marine Biodiversity, Ocean University of China). Ciliated protists represent one of the most primitive lineages of eukaryotes, with nuclear ...

Pond protist defies all known genetic stop signals
Rule-breaking discovery: Researchers found a pond protist that reassigns all three standard genetic stop codons to amino acids, overturning a long-held view of code universality. Why it matters: The ...
