Until now, it’s been very hard for scientists to establish a detailed timeline of the early evolution of bacteria.

Finally, the three-domain structure of Woese's tree (Figure 1a) shows that evolutionary history is decoupled from biological organization. Indeed, archaea and bacteria appear very similar ...

But how did the evolution of life proceed through the ... We used this information to layer on dates to the bacterial tree of life. We started by training an artificial intelligence (AI) model ...

You would likely consider bacteria to be the pinnacle of creation and the rest of the planet's organisms to be evolutionary rejects. On the other hand, if you were a tree-thinking bacterium ...

If the Earth's evolutionary history had been this simple, the tree of life would just be a straight line consisting of countless generations of the same kind of bacteria-like organisms that were ...

An international collaboration between four scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published new research in ...

the billions of years that have passed since the fusion of an Archaea and a Bacteria have resulted in a lack of evolutionary intermediates in the phylogenetic tree until the emergence of the ...

The first-of-its-kind in-depth bacterial evolutionary map could pave the way for the development of precision treatments for certain antibiotic-resistant infections, such as urinary tract infections.

Researchers found LUCA, our earliest common ancestor, lived 4.2 billion years ago. It had a complex biology, affecting its ...

HGT has been reported to happen frequently -- on an evolutionary scale -- between bacteria and plants. This is most probably how 4mC reached Marchantia. HGT events from soil bacteria to plants ...

But how did the evolution of life proceed through the ... We used this information to layer on dates to the bacterial tree of life. We started by training an artificial intelligence (AI) model ...
