Proposal of the reverse flow model for the origin of the eukaryotic cell based on comparative analyses of Asgard archaeal metabolism
The origin of eukaryotes represents an unresolved puzzle in evolutionary biology. Current
research suggests that eukaryotes evolved from a merger between a host of archaeal …

On the origin of the nucleus: a hypothesis
In this hypothesis article, we explore the origin of the eukaryotic nucleus. In doing so, we first
look afresh at the nature of this defining feature of the eukaryotic cell and its core functions …
