Talk:Vault (organelle)

Untitled
This is a relatively new discovery (function and purpose of which is not well known), I will try to add more information as I get it as I read medical and biological journals often. Chronic since 1992. (talk) 04:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Extent of ubiquitous nature
This section says that most organisms have them but there are a few exceptions, four model organisms, a plant, animal, fungi and nematode are then listed as not having them. These are some of the most studied organisms and it seems a bit strange that these all lack them if most organisms have them. Have they been found in other species of plant, fungi and nematode?

 * I tried toning down the claims of ubiquity of vault. The evidence suggests that it is just very well conserved but has been lost by some lineages.--Paul (talk) 22:52, 11 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I've added that the four species without are model organisms as I think this is an important point to make. To me it suggests that it might not be that well conserved but I won't do any WP:OR. Smartse (talk) 00:03, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
