Known as viral eukaryogenesis, this idea was first proposed in 2001 by Masaharu Takemura, a molecular biologist at the Tokyo University of Science. He suggested the nucleus of eukaryotic cells arose ...

DNA, though tightly packed in the nucleus, is constantly threatened by damage from metabolism and external stressors. One particularly severe form of DNA damage is the so-called DNA–protein crosslinks ...
