Unlocking the Secrets of LUCA, Earth’s Earliest Life Form
A University of Bristol-led study found that life on Earth, stemming from a common ancestor called LUCA, flourished soon after the planet’s formation. Through genetic…
The University of Bristol, located in Bristol, England, is a prestigious research university founded in 1876. Initially starting as University College, Bristol, it received its royal charter in 1909, thereby gaining full university status. It is renowned for its high research output and is a member of the Russell Group of research-intensive British universities. The university is composed of several faculties, offering a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs. Its beautiful and historically rich campus is well-known for landmarks like the Wills Memorial Building.
