Shaping up genomes: Prokaryotic roots and eukaryotic diversification of SMC complexes

bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

Congratulations! Very interesting!

In a study that started during my postdoc at @deemteam.bsky.social, we chart the presences and absences of SMC complex subunits across ~180 diverse and representative eukaryotes, and delve into their deep prokaryotic origins. (2/6)
