Evolution: revisiting the root of the eukaryote tree.

Centre for Comparative Genomics and Evolutionary Bioinformatics, Dalhousie University, Canada.

Abstract

A recent phylogenomic investigation shows that the enigmatic flagellate Breviata is a distinct anaerobic lineage within the eukaryote super-group Amoebozoa and challenges the unikont-bikont rooting of the tree of eukaryotes.
