Structure-based inference of eukaryotic complexity in Asgard archaea

S. Koestlbacher, J. J. E. van Hooff, K. Panagiotou, D. Tamarit, V. De Anda, K. E. Appler, B. J. Baker, T. J. G. Ettema

This study identifies 908 new isomorphic eukaryotic signature proteins in Asgard archaea, suggesting their ancestor was more complex than previously thought.
