TL;DR: This revision of the classification of eukaryotes retains an emphasis on the protists and incorporates changes since 2005 that have resolved nodes and branches in phylogenetic trees.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that eukaryotes form at least two domains, the loss of monophyly in the Excavata, robust support for the Haptista and Cryptista, and suggested primer sets for DNA sequences from environmental samples that are effective for each clade are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomics demonstrates that breviate flagellates are related to opisthokonts and apusomonads.

TL;DR: The balance of evidence suggests that the breviate lineage forms the deepest branch within Obazoa, and a 159-protein supermatrix is constructed, indicating that this protein complex involved in metazoan multicellularity may have evolved earlier in eukaryote evolution than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracellular invasion of green algae in a salamander host
TL;DR: The invasion of algae into salamander host tissues and cells represents a unique association between a vertebrate and a eukaryotic alga, with implications for research into cell–cell recognition, possible exchange of metabolites or DNA, and potential congruence between host and symbiont population structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomics Places Orphan Protistan Lineages in a Novel Eukaryotic Super-Group.

TL;DR: CRuMs and ancyromonads represent two distinct major groups that branch deeply on the lineage that includes animals, near the most commonly inferred root of the eukaryote tree, which makes both groups crucial in examinations of the deepest-level history of extant eucaryotes.
