High-Resolution, Multidimensional Phylogenetic Metrics Identify Class I Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase Evolutionary Mosaicity and Inter-modular 'Coupling
C. W. Carter, A. Popinga, R. Bouckaert, P. Wills
The paper uses phylogenetic metrics to show that Class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases evolved from a mosaic of genetic sources with modular 'coupling' and identifies a protozyme as the root of the molecular tree.
