Plant evolution has been characterised by a series of major novelties in their vegetative and
reproductive traits that have led to greater complexity. Underpinning this diversification has …

Evolutionary cell biology explores the origins, principles, and core functions of cellular
features and regulatory networks through the lens of evolution. This emerging field relies …

Animals use a variety of cell-autonomous innate immune proteins to detect viral infections
and prevent replication. Recent studies have discovered that a subset of mammalian …

Comparative studies of great apes provide a window into our evolutionary past, but the
extent and identity of cellular differences that emerged during hominin evolution remain …

The∼ 1 200 known species in subphylum Saccharomycotina are a highly diverse clade of
unicellular fungi. During its lifecycle, a typical yeast exhibits multiple cell types with various …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have begun to receive overdue attention for their
regulatory roles in gene expression and other cellular processes. Although most lncRNAs …

Overexpression can help life adapt to stressful environments, making an examination of
overexpressed genes valuable for understanding stress tolerance mechanisms. However, a …

Gene knockout disrupts cellular homeostasis, altering gene expression, and phenotypes.
We investigated whether cells return to their pre-knockout transcriptomic state through …

Animals use a variety of cell-autonomous innate immune proteins to detect viral infections
and prevent replication. Recent studies have discovered that a subset of mammalian …

All biological functions evolve by fixing beneficial mutations and removing deleterious ones.
Therefore, continuously fixing and removing the same essential function to separately …
