Origin of life: How a special group of single-celled organisms laid the foundation for complex cells
Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments discovered gene fragments that indicated a new and previously undiscovered form ...
From different angles, EMBL researchers are looking at archaea with the hope these understudied organisms will answer ...
Following the drive to understand and control bacteria, it’s becoming clear that our methods have changed the very organisms we aim to understand, increasing resistance to tried-and-true antimicrobial ...

Unraveling the Evolutionary Link to Eukaryotic Cells
Just a decade ago, scientists had no idea Asgard archaea even existed. That changed in 2015 when researchers analyzing deep-sea sediments uncovered gene fragments hinting at a previously unknown group ...
