Genomes are not a blueprint for anatomy, and genome editing is fundamentally limited by the fact that it’s very hard to infer which genes to tweak, and how, to achieve desired complex anatomical ...

Like bacteria, archaea are single-celled organisms. Genetically ... "They appear to form the skeleton for the complex cell architecture of Asgard archaea," adds Florian Wollweber.

The daughter cells that result from this division are genetically identical to each other and to the original parent cell. Thus, over time, asexual reproduction in bacteria can lead to a ...
