... genotype. Since genes guide phenotype, it makes sense that more common genes would be in similar phenotypes. It would also seem logical that most eukaryotes should have a certain amount of common genetic material, since they are all organic, whether a banana or a dog. As far as MDs chemical engineers, ...

There are differences in glycosylation even among eukaryotes, and even among quite closely related species. Yeasts often over-glycosylate their products, although this is not to say they couldn't get it right in many cases. Even such commonly used ...

as far as I know, glycosylation signals are conserved among all eukaryotes. For example, I just expressed chicken avidin into yeast and it gets glycosylated just fine

... about bacteria and mitochondria--how did I already know you were going to say that (lol)?? Bacteria and Archaens are in two different domains than eukaryotes, and if I may quote the Berkley geologic timescale site "are as different from us genetically as night is from day." We're talking ...
