Journal ArticleDOI
Untangling the early diversification of eukaryotes: a phylogenomic study of the evolutionary origins of Centrohelida, Haptophyta and Cryptista.
Fabien Burki,Maia Kaplan,Denis V. Tikhonenkov,Vasily V. Zlatogursky,Bui Quang Minh,Liudmila V. Radaykina,Alexey V. Smirnov,Alexander P. Mylnikov,Patrick J. Keeling,Patrick J. Keeling +9 more
TL;DR: The centrohelid heliozoans are particularly relevant for reconstructing the tree of eukaryotes because they represent one of the last substantial groups that was missing large and diverse genomic data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The twilight of Heliozoa and rise of Rhizaria, an emerging supergroup of amoeboid eukaryotes
Sergey Nikolaev,Cédric Berney,José Fahrni,Ignacio Bolivar,Stephane Polet,Alexander P. Mylnikov,Vladimir V. Aleshin,Nikolai B. Petrov,Jan Pawlowski +8 more
TL;DR: Combined small-subunit ribosomal RNA and actin sequence data for the three main groups of "Heliozoa" (Actinophryida, Centrohelida, and Desmothoracida), the heliozoan-like Sticholonche, and the radiolarian group Polycystinea provide solid evidence for the existence of the Rhizaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors mediating plastid dependency and the origins of parasitism in apicomplexans and their close relatives
Jan Janouškovec,Jan Janouškovec,Denis V. Tikhonenkov,Denis V. Tikhonenkov,Fabien Burki,Alexis T. Howe,Martin Kolisko,Alexander P. Mylnikov,Patrick J. Keeling,Patrick J. Keeling +9 more
TL;DR: This work examines the broader distribution of a suite of molecular characteristics previously linked to the origins of apicomplexan parasitism and finds that virtually all are present in their free-living relatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin of Metazoa: a transition from temporal to spatial cell differentiation
Kirill V. Mikhailov,Anastasiya V. Konstantinova,Mikhail A. Nikitin,Peter V Troshin,L.Y. Rusin,L.Y. Rusin,Vassily A. Lyubetsky,Yuri V. Panchin,Alexander P. Mylnikov,Leonid L. Moroz,Sudhir Kumar,Vladimir V. Aleoshin +11 more
TL;DR: A more realistic scenario of transition to multicellularity through integration of pre‐existing transient cell types into the body of an early metazoon, which possessed a complex life cycle with a differentiated sedentary filter‐feeding trophic stage and a non‐feeding blastula‐like larva, the synzoospore is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogeny of Colpodellids (Alveolata) using small subunit rRNA gene sequences suggests they are the free-living sister group to Apicomplexans
Olga N. Kuvardina,Brian S. Leander,Vladimir V. Aleshin,Alexander P. Mylnikov,Patrick J. Keeling,Timur G. Simdyanov +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that colpodellids and perkinsids are plesiomorphically similar in morphology and help provide a phylogenetic framework for inferring the combination of character states present in the last common ancestor of dinoflagellates and apicomplexans.
