The following databases are currently supported (with pre-built sylph databases available here) and can be found in the prokaryote, eukaryote, virus subfolders within this repository. python ...

The mRNA then exits the nucleus, and translation occurs in the cell’s cytoplasm. Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus. Instead, prokaryote DNA can be found, bundled but free-floating, in a central region ...

A diversity of prokaryotes currently exhibit multicellularity with different generation mechanisms in a variety of contexts of ecology on Earth. In the present study, we report a new type of ...

The transition from prokaryote to eukaryote has remained a central mystery biologists are still trying to untangle. How this crucial transition came to be remains a central mystery in biology.
