Our results imply that the genomes of haplodiploid and of diploid higher eukaryotes do not differ systematically in their recombination rates and associated parameters.

Unlike bacteria, some archaea also contain histones, but researchers weren't sure whether these microbes spool DNA around the protein bobbins the way eukaryotes do.

We evolved from other eukaryotes, but eukaryotes do not automatically evolve to be humans.

I would be surprised if such eukaryotes did not date back to at least 3.0 billion years before the present.

«How do you make a eukaryote, that's a big question,» said Schleper, a microbiologist at the University of Vienna in Austria.

Yeasts, like humans, are eukaryotes: They have complex DNA packaged in chromosomes and riddled with introns (pieces of DNA that don't contribute to the final protein) and «junk DNA» with no known purpose.

These were the eukaryotes — mainly plants and animals, whose cells had a nucleus — and the prokaryotes, such as bacteria, whose cells did not.
