Systematic bacterialization of yeast genes identifies a near-universally swappable pathway

Systematic bacterialization of yeast genes identifies a near-universally swappable pathway

Eukaryotes and prokaryotes last shared a common ancestor ~2 billion years ago, and while many present-day genes in these lineages predate this divergence, the extent to which these genes still perform their ancestral functions is largely unknown. To test principles governing retention of ancient fun...
