Common origin of sterol biosynthesis points to a feeding strategy shift in Neoproterozoic animals
Steranes preserved in sedimentary rocks serve as molecular fossils, which are thought to record the expansion of eukaryote life through the Neoproterozoic Era ( ~ 1000-541 Ma). Scientists hypothesize that ancient C(27) steranes originated from cholesterol, the major sterol produced by living red alg...
