Prokaryotic cells: structural organisation of the cytoskeleton and organelles
For many years, prokaryotic cells were distinguished from eukaryotic cells based on the simplicity of their cytoplasm, in which the presence of organelles and cytoskeletal structures had not been discovered.

The basic principles of DNA damage detection by the alkaline comet assay [PDF]
The Comet assay is a highly sensitive and rapid method for detecting DNA damage at the level of individual cells. It measures single-stranded and double-stranded DNA breaks, alkali-labile, incomplete excision repair and cross-linking sites.

The scale-free dynamics of eukaryotic cells. [PDF]
Temporal organization of biological processes requires massively parallel processing on a synchronized time-base. We analyzed time-series data obtained from the bioenergetic oscillatory outputs of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and isolated cardiomyocytes ...

Mad2, Bub3, and Mps1 regulate chromosome segregation and mitotic synchrony in Giardia intestinalis, a binucleate protist lacking an anaphase-promoting complex. [PDF]
The binucleate pathogen Giardia intestinalis is a highly divergent eukaryote with a semiopen mitosis, lacking an anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and many of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC) proteins.

Integrating Horizontal Gene Transfer and Common Descent to Depict Evolution and Contrast It with ‘‘Common Design [PDF]
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and common descent interact in space and time. Because events of HGT co-occur with phylogenetic evolution, it is difficult to depict evolutionary patterns graphically. Tree-like representations of life’s diversification are

Orchestrated transcription of biological processes in the marine picoeukaryote Ostreococcus exposed to light/dark cycles [PDF]
Background: Picoeukaryotes represent an important, yet poorly characterized component of marine phytoplankton. The recent genome availability for two species of Ostreococcus and Micromonas has led to the emergence of picophytoplankton comparative ...
