Bacterial genes outnumber archaeal genes in eukaryotic genomes

2019-09-23

Abstract excerpt

The origin of eukaryotes is one of evolution’s most important transitions, yet it is still poorly understood. Evidence for how it occurred should be preserved in eukaryotic genomes. Based on phylogenetic trees from ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins, eukaryotes are typically depicted as branching together with or within archaea. This ribosomal affiliation is widely interpreted as evidence for an archaeal origin...
