When size is not important any more
Wireless phone companies, especially with number portability, sell a product that is less and less different, that is to say, a commodity. That is the reason scale economies play a very important role in this market. Given that it is not possible to make a large margin on the service that they offer, companies must focus their strategies on saving costs. Moreover, the more clients a company has...
متن کاملThe Deep Archaeal Roots of Eukaryotes
The set of conserved eukaryotic protein-coding genes includes distinct subsets one of which appears to be most closely related to and, by inference, derived from archaea, whereas another one appears to be of bacterial, possibly, endosymbiotic origin. The "archaeal" genes of eukaryotes, primarily, encode components of information-processing systems, whereas the "bacterial" genes are predominantl...
متن کاملIntron-dominated genomes of early ancestors of eukaryotes.
Evolutionary reconstructions using maximum likelihood methods point to unexpectedly high densities of introns in protein-coding genes of ancestral eukaryotic forms including the last common ancestor of all extant eukaryotes. Combined with the evidence of the origin of spliceosomal introns from invading Group II self-splicing introns, these results suggest that early ancestral eukaryotic genomes...
متن کاملArchaeal DNA Replication:A Robust Model for Eukaryotes
The Yellowstone National Park environment plays host to a range of hyperthermophilic ecosystems. Hot sulfur springs are inhabited by a range of bacterial and archaeal microorganisms. Understanding how these organisms replicate their DNA under such apparently inimical conditions is of inherent interest. Furthermore, the archaeal replication system is proving to be a valuable model for the eukary...
متن کاملDistant metastasis: not out of reach any more
Metastasis is the major cause of death in breast cancer patients. Gene-expression studies have shown that the likelihood of metastasis can be predicted from analysis of primary tumors. Two recent papers in BMC Medicine and BMC Cancer have established new operational expression signatures containing a limited number of genes involved in angiogenesis or cell proliferation.
