TL;DR: To investigate the origin of higher taxa in archaea, gene distributions and gene phylogenies for the 267,568 protein-coding genes of 134 sequenced archaeal genomes are determined in the context of their homologues from 1,847 reference bacterial genomes.

TL;DR: This paper outlines an energetically feasible path from a particular inorganic setting for the origin of life to the first free-living cells, and focuses on the main evolutionary transitions in early bioenergetic evolution.

TL;DR: The network linking genes of the eukaryote ancestor to contemporary homologues distributed across prokaryotic genomes elucidates eukARYote gene origins in a dialect cognizant of gene transfer in nature.

TL;DR: Investigating concatenations of prokaryotic and eukaryotic datasets to investigate possible sources of incongruence in phylogenetic trees and to examine the level of overlap between individual and concatenated alignments finds the weak correspondence of concatenation trees with single gene trees gives rise to the question where the phylogenetic signal in concatenate trees is coming from.

TL;DR: Martin et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a study on the role of population genetics in the development and evolution of the human brain, which was conducted at the University of Dusseldorff in Germany.
