Evolution: new mechanisms reveal the proximity between eukaryotes and archaea
A study by a team from the Structural Biology of the Cell Laboratory (BIOC*), with the participation of the Molecular Chemistry Laboratory (LCM*), published in Nature communications, reveals the mechanisms that initiate translation of the genetic code into proteins in an archaea. This result supports the hypothesis that eukaryotes emerged from the archaeal domain during evolution.
