Genetic connections of the actin cytoskeleton and beyond
Article Abstract:
The article describes the newly developed set of genes, associated with the cytoskeleton of actin, a key protein used in a large number of cellular functions, including the protein biosynthesis and gene description in a human body. The findings reveal that there exists a functional link between the different actin fractions, which are normally controlled by the changes in actin dynamics.

Meiosis and sex: Potent weapons in the competition between early eukaryotes and prokaryotes
Article Abstract:
The early evolution of meiosis, with its capacity for generating new favorable gene combinations, might have served to offset any of the competitive disadvantages. It is shown that meiosis and sex could have arisen in an asexually reproducing species and formed a clonal population.
