Tardigrades are ubiquitous meiofauna that are especially renowned for their exceptional
extremotolerance to various adverse environments, including pressure, temperature, and …

Space travel has advanced significantly over the last six decades with astronauts spending
up to 6 months at the International Space Station. Nonetheless, the living environment while …

The task of eukaryotic genome annotation remains challenging. Only a few genomes could
serve as standards of annotation achieved through a tremendous investment of human …

We investigated genome folding across the eukaryotic tree of life. We find two types of three-
dimensional (3D) genome architectures at the chromosome scale. Each type appears and …

The goal of many genome sequencing projects is to provide a complete representation of a
target genome (or genomes) as underpinning data for further analyses. However, it can be …

Proper biological interpretation of a phylogeny can sometimes hinge on the placement of
key taxa—or fail when such key taxa are not sampled. In this light, we here present the first …

Tardigrades are able to tolerate almost complete dehydration by entering a reversible
ametabolic state called anhydrobiosis and resume their animation upon rehydration …

A laboratory strain identified as" Hypsibius dujardini" is one of the best studied tardigrade
strains: it is widely used as a model organism in a variety of research projects, ranging from …

Water is critical for the survival of most cells and organisms. Remarkably, a small number of
multicellular animals are able to survive nearly complete drying. The phenomenon of …

Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are animals that can survive extreme conditions.
The tardigrade Ramazzottius varieornatus contains a unique nuclear protein termed Dsup …
