Curious about how evolution takes place? Are you looking for a "first-course" in the subject? My book, Fundamentals of Evolutionary Biology (CRC Press), takes a microbe-first approach and explains how molecular and cellular processes drive evolution.

Ancient cells called Asgard archaea were first discovered at the hydrothermal vent site called Loki's Castle in 2010. Their discovery has shaken up our view of the Tree of Life. https://t.co/HXuml22d4T

biologists continue to mistake single-cell technical sampling noise for meaningful cellular heterogeneity. the apparent sparsity of single-cell data is due largely to technical artifacts like transcript capture and sequencing depth--if there are hundreds of thousands of
"Only ~0.02%-3.1% of [a cell's] genome" is being transcribed at any given moment. Other interesting takeaways from this new paper: > If you pool together a bunch of cells of the SAME type (like primary immune cells from a mouse's spleen), and you measure the transcription for

Cells are so tiny that measuring their weight seems, at first blush, like an impossible task. But back in 1953, two biologists from Southern Illinois University — supported, in part, with funding from Anheuser-Busch! — invented a super clever method for figuring out the weight
