Archaeal lineages of Promethearchaeota phylum were found to survive in marine sediments frozen for over 100 kyr. These findings not only enhance our understanding of evolutionary processes under long...

Crawling motility is a hallmark of eukaryotic cells and requires a dynamic actin cytoskeleton, regulated adhesion, and spatially organized signalling pathways1–3. Asgard archaea (phylum Promethearchae...

Ammonia oxidation is a fundamental step in the marine nitrogen cycle, catalyzing the conversion of ammonia to nitrite or nitric oxide and generating reductive power for the autotrophic growth of micro...

Sleep is a universally conserved behavior with an elusive origin and an uncertain evolutionary purpose. Leveraging phylogenomics, we investigate the evolutionary foundations of sleep by identifying or...

Abstract. Prokaryotic cells employ multiple protective layers crucial for defense, structural integrity, and cellular interactions in the environment. Arch
