The Lost Biosphere Before Mitochondria And why it makes me feel better about the likelihood of complex extraterrestrial life

New paper in Nature: complex life may have existed before mitochondria.

Before oxygen.
Before endosymbiosis.
No known mechanism.

Earth may once have hosted an entire biosphere powered by a metabolism we’ve never seen.

What could that have looked like?

#behavioral #evolution: Brief moments of inhibition guide mate choice How do males choose mates when mingling with closely related species? Males of different fruit fly strains vary dramatically in selectivity, from faithful to promiscuous. A new study reveals that differences in inhibitory brain circuits control this selectivity by transiently suppressing inappropriate courtship.

#evolution: Shark and ray biodiversity in deep time As marine predators, sharks and rays are key to the health of ocean ecosystems. Despite recent advances, our understanding of their past biodiversity remains controversial. A new study using deep learning for evaluating big data highlights emerging research pathways.

Asia's EVolution: Inside the fight over the Philippines' underground copper riches fuelled by electric vehicles KORONADAL, Philippines: The rough, juddering road to Tampakan is flanked by languid dogs and animated roosters, modest breeze-block houses and burning coconut husks. Small streams cut the path and signs warn of the risks of landslides in these mountains of upland Mindanao in the Philippines. There are eyes on the road too. Local men in uniforms run security along the ancestral domain now in the hands of a mining company about which little is known. For decades, the promise of mining has hovered over this mountain. Tampakan municipality is the home of the indigenous Blaan tribe. It also holds the largest untapped copper-gold reserve in Southeast Asia, with roughly three billion tonnes of ore that could be worth tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars in raw commodity terms. The Philippines is trying to position itself as an important player in the electric vehicle supply chain, and its vast resources of copper could be crucial for the region’s green transition. To reach the goal, however, places like Tampakan could be ripped up in the name of extraction. As global demand for copper surges - for EVs, charging stations, data centres, power grids and renewable energy infrastructure - the stakes...

Cis-regulatory #evolution of Wnt family genes contributes to a morphological difference between silkworm species by Kenta Tomihara, Ana Pinharanda, Young Mi Kwon, Andrew M. Taverner, Laura S. Kors, Matthew L. Aardema, Julia C. Holder, Lin Poyraz, Takashi Kiuchi, Peter Andolfatto Closely related species often exhibit distinct morphologies that can contribute to species-specific adaptations and reproductive isolation. One example is Lepidopteran caterpillar appendages, such as the “caudal horn” of Bombycoidea moths, which have evolved substantial morphological diversity among species in this group. Using interspecific crosses, we identify the genetic basis of the caudal horn size difference between Bombyx mori and its closest relative Bombyx mandarina. The three largest of eight QTL account for one third the mean horn length difference between the species. The largest of these, on chromosome 4, encompasses a conserved Wnt family gene cluster, key upstream regulators that are well-known for their roles in morphological diversification in animals. Using allele-specific expression analysis and CRISPR/Cas9 knockouts, we show that tissue-specific cis-regulatory changes to Wnt1 and Wnt6 contribute to the species difference in caudal horn size. This kind of modularity enables highly pleiotropic genes, including key upstream growth regulators, to contribute to the evolution of morphological traits without causing widespread deleterious effects.

Researchers Identify Ancient Plant DNA Regulatory Sequences Preserved for 400 Million Years A team of scientists from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and international collaborators has discovered a vast collection of plant DNA sequences that have remained conserved for over 400 million years. By analyzing 314 genomes from 284 plant species using a computational tool called Conservatory, researchers identified more than 2.3 million conserved non-coding sequences (CNSs) that act as regulatory 'switches,' controlling when and how genes are expressed. These sequences predate the divergence of flowering and non-flowering plants, providing new insight into plant evolution. The study found that CNSs maintain their order along chromosomes even as their spacing changes, can associate with different genes after genome rearrangements, and often persist after gene duplication, which is crucial for understanding genome evolution. This work offers a comprehensive atlas for studying regulatory DNA conservation across plants, including crop species, and has potential applications in improving crop traits like drought resistance. Beyond agriculture, these findings illuminate how gene regulation has been preserved over hundreds of millions of years, providing a valuable window into evolutionary biology.
