Journal ArticleDOI

Genome structure and metabolic features in the red seaweed Chondrus crispus shed light on evolution of the Archaeplastida.

Jonas Collén, +66 more
TL;DR: An evolutionary scenario involving an ancestral red alga that was driven by early ecological forces to lose genes, introns, and intergenetic DNA is proposed; this loss was followed by an expansion of genome size as a consequence of activity of transposable elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Early-Branching Freshwater Cyanobacterium at the Origin of Plastids

TL;DR: Analysis of phylogenomic and supernetwork analyses of the most comprehensive dataset analyzed so far strongly support that plastids evolved from deep-branching cyanobacteria and that the present-day closest cultured relative of primary plastid is Gloeomargarita lithophora.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accuracy of protist diversity assessments: morphology compared with cloning and direct pyrosequencing of 18S rRNA genes and ITS regions using the conspicuous tintinnid ciliates as a case study.

TL;DR: The results suggest that a careful and rigorous analysis of pyrosequencing data sets, including data denoising and sequence clustering with well-adjusted parameters, is necessary to accurately describe microbial biodiversity using this molecular approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rooting the Domain Archaea by Phylogenomic Analysis Supports the Foundation of the New Kingdom Proteoarchaeota

TL;DR: Reconstructing rooted archaeal phylogenetic trees using bacterial sequences as outgroup implies the relegation of several groups previously classified as kingdoms to a lower taxonomic rank.
