One of the most-viewed PNAS articles in the last week is “The emergence of eukaryotes as an evolutionary algorithmic phase transition.” Explore the article here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Gene and protein length distributions are lognormal. Length distributions for genes (blue, measured in number of base pairs) and their corresponding proteins (orange, measured in number of amino acids) for Danio rerio (zebrafish). Note that lengths are represented on a logarithmic scale. The red curves are fits to lognormal distributions.

A phase transition in gene length distribution around 2.6 billion years ago is identified as a key event marking the emergence of eukaryotic cells and a major increase in biological complexity. doi.org/g9fxfk
An evolutionary algorithmic phase transition 2.6 billion years ago may have sparked the emergence of eukaryotic cells
An international collaboration between four scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published new research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shedding light on the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth: the origin of the eukaryotic cell.

See more results, such as the next scaling law in the entire tree of life:
Gene and protein length distributions are lognormal. Scale-invariant relationship between mean gene length and variance. Each dot in this log–log plot represents the genome of a single species (33,627), with H. sapiens highlighted by the circle. Different colors identify major phyletic groups.
