Yet the extent of recombination within many organisms is unknown, and even determining its presence within a set of homologous sequences is a difficult question.
Within many organisms, the major ligands for cadmium are small metal binding proteins known as metallothionein (MT) [ 32, 33].
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.10034.001 Many organisms keep their DNA within a structure inside their cells called the nucleus.
Further, codon bias in many organisms is more extreme within four fold redundant codon systems, and this codon bias appears to be more likely to change over geological time.
Additionally, the presence of multiple Class II isoforms in many organisms that were placed together within single species, or intermixed with taxonomically closely related species (as exemplified in A. thaliana and S. cerevisiae) suggests that the trehalose synthetic gene family has undergone expansion by a number of gene duplication events at different taxonomic levels.
By being cheap, relatively easy to use, and effective in almost every species tested, this genome editing method is putting another technology, called gene drive, within reach for many organisms.
Biofilms are the preferred environmental state for many organisms, consisting of complex and adherent multicellular assemblages maintained within exopolysaccharide-rich matrices [57].
Phylogenetic analysis revealed that clone sequences from the dominant OTU formed a stable clade (here called the TIOS44 cluster), within the Halothiobacillaceae family, with sequences from many organisms that have not yet been validly described.
How many organisms of a particular type live in this habitat?
In many organisms, the way to pinpoint a species is to apply the biological species concept.
