@_casuali From our reanalyses, the 2D trees in which Eukarya emerge from asgards are biased by several pitfalls and by the existence of lateral gene transfer from proto-eukarya to asgards. See our review in Da Cunha et al., 2022.

RT @jcamthrash: Archaea produce peptidoglycan hydrolases that kill bacteria
journals.plos.org
Archaea regularly interact with bacteria but reports of archaea killing bacteria are very rare. This study shows that many archaea encode peptidoglycan hydrolases, which specifically target bacterial...

Histones are fundamental chromatin-organizing proteins in eukaryotes and archaea, where they assemble into (hyper)nucleosomes that wrap DNA. Recent studies have expanded the known repertoire of...

De toute façon ces séquences étaient très petites et pouvaient se retrouver dans beaucoup d’autres génomes que dans celui du Sida.

Jnai analysé l’article auquel Montagner faisait référence. Les auteurs avaient oublié dans leur analyse les séquences de chauves-souris qui contenaient elle-aussi les soit disant séquences du sida.
@raoult_didier Comment expliquer les propos de Luc Montagnier qui selon lui, des séquences du VIH (virus du sida) auraient été insérées dans le génome du coronavirus par des biologistes moléculaires. Il parle d’un travail méticuleux, « un horloger des séquences »?.
