This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of ATP synthase using a cross-braced dated tree of life, showing early divergence of F- and A/V-type lineages and timing of eukaryogenesis.

This paper uses machine learning and phylogenetic reconciliation to estimate the evolutionary timeline of Bacteria, linking transitions to aerobic lifestyles to the Great Oxidation Event.

This study uses phylogenetic analysis to trace the evolution of the mercury methylating gene hgcAB and hypothesize its role in antimicrobial production on early Earth.

This study identifies the molecular mechanism by which SNX27-Retromer interacts with ESCPE-1 to facilitate endosomal cargo recycling, revealing a conserved surface interaction and evolutionary pathway.

This paper identifies a conserved amphipathic helix in kinesin-1 light chains that mediates direct membrane binding, challenging the previous understanding of lysosome positioning.

The paper estimates the deepest branches of the tree of life by analyzing marker genes and shows that current methods underestimate the Archaea-Bacteria branch length due to substitutional saturation and poor model fit.
