A common core of secondary structure of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) throughout the Eukaryota [PDF]
The ongoing characterization of novel species creates the need for a molecular marker which can be used for species- and, simultaneously, for mega-systematics. Recently, the use of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequence was suggested, as it shows a high divergence in sequence with an assumed conservation in structure.

Cytoskeletal organization, phylogenetic affinities and systematics in the contentious taxon Excavata (Eukaryota) [PDF]
An overview of the controversial proposal for the major eukaryote taxon "Excavata" is presented. Excavata is predicted to include at least ten distinct groups: jakobids, Malawimonas, Trimastix, Carpediemonas, retortamonads, diplomonads, Heterolobosea, oxymonads, parabasalids and Euglenozoa.

Behavior of replication origins in Eukaryota – spatio-temporal dynamics of licensing and firing [PDF]
Although every organism shares some common features of replication, this process varies greatly among eukaryotic species. Current data show that mathematical models of the organization of origins based on possibility theory may be applied (and remain accurate) in every model organism i.e. from yeast to humans.

Quantifying Soil Microbiome Abundance by Metatranscriptomics and Complementary Molecular Techniques-Cross-Validation and Perspectives. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Linking meta‐omics and biogeochemistry approaches in soils has remained challenging. This study evaluates the use of an internal RNA extraction standard and its potential for making quantitative estimates of a given microbial community size (biomass) in soil metatranscriptomics. We evaluate commonly used laboratory protocols for RNA processing,

SANTA domain: a novel conserved protein module in Eukaryota with potential involvement in chromatin regulation [PDF]
Abstract Since packaging of DNA in the chromatin structure restricts the accessibility for regulatory factors, chromatin remodeling is required to facilitate nuclear processes such as gene transcription, replication, and genome recombination.

Advances In The Understanding of The Commensal Eukaryota And Viruses Of The Herbivore Gut [PDF]
Anaerobic fungi and ciliate protozoa represent up to half of the herbivore gut microbial biomass. They are generally recognized as mutualistic symbionts in ruminant animals since they produce a wide range of cellulolytic and amylolytic enzymes and play a key role in feed degradation for the host. This is particularly true of anaerobic fungi, which have
