For 15 years, the eukaryote Tree of Life (eToL) has been divided into five to eight major
grou**s, known as 'supergroups'. However, the tree has been profoundly rearranged …

Whereas DNA viruses are known to be abundant, diverse, and commonly key ecosystem
players, RNA viruses are insufficiently studied outside disease settings. In this study, we …

Gene exchange between viruses and their hosts acts as a key facilitator of horizontal gene
transfer and is hypothesized to be a major driver of evolutionary change. Our understanding …

INTRODUCTION Perceptual experiences in mammals may arise from patterns of neural
circuit activity in cerebral cortex. For example, primary visual cortex (V1) is causally capable …

Microalgae, due to their complex metabolic capacity, are being continuously explored for
nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and other industrially important bioactives. However …

Algal lipid metabolism fascinates both scientists and entrepreneurs due to the large diversity
of fatty acyl structures that algae produce. Algae have therefore long been studied as …

Some diatoms of the genera Pseudo-nitzschia and Nitzschia produce the neurotoxin domoic
acid (DA), a compound that caused amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) in humans just over …

The deep ocean below 200 m water depth is the least observed, but largest habitat on our
planet by volume and area. Over 150 years of exploration has revealed that this dynamic …

Over 600 million years ago, animals evolved from a unicellular or colonial organism whose
