Journal ArticleDOI
The tree of eukaryotes
Patrick J. Keeling,Gertraud Burger,Dion G. Durnford,B. Franz Lang,Robert W. Lee,Ronald E. Pearlman,Andrew J. Roger,Michael W. Gray +7 more
TL;DR: Recent progress in assembling the tree of eukaryotes is reviewed, describing the major evidence for each supergroup, and where gaps in the authors' knowledge remain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial genomes: anything goes.
TL;DR: In addition to outlining the extraordinary diversity of mtDNA, this review highlights the divergent trends in mitochondrial genome evolution in the various eukaryotic lineages, and examines the relationship between mitochondrial and nuclear genome Evolution in a given organism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monophyly of Primary Photosynthetic Eukaryotes: Green Plants, Red Algae, and Glaucophytes
Naiara Rodríguez-Ezpeleta,Henner Brinkmann,Suzanne C. Burey,Béatrice Roure,Gertraud Burger,Wolfgang Löffelhardt,Hans J. Bohnert,Hervé Philippe,B. Franz Lang +8 more
TL;DR: These analyses provide the first strong support for a single endosymbiotic event that gave rise to primary photosynthetic eukaryotes, the Plantae, which are present in green plants, red algae, and glaucophytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and early evolution of mitochondria
TL;DR: Complete sequences of numerous mitochondrial, many prokaryotic, and several nuclear genomes are now available and confirm that the mitochondrial genome originated from a eubacterial ancestor but raise questions about the evolutionary antecedents of the mitochondrial proteome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomic analyses support the monophyly of Excavata and resolve relationships among eukaryotic “supergroups”
Vladimír Hampl,Laura A. Hug,Jessica W. Leigh,Joel B. Dacks,B. Franz Lang,Alastair G. B. Simpson,Andrew J. Roger +6 more
TL;DR: A phylogenomic analysis of a dataset of 143 proteins and 48 taxa indicates that Excavata forms a monophyletic suprakingdom-level group that is one of the 3 primary divisions within eukaryotes, along with unikonts and a megagroup of Archaeplastida, Rhizaria, and the chromalveolate lineages.
