Inference and reconstruction of the heimdallarchaeial ancestry of eukaryotes

L. Eme, D. Tamarit, E. F. Caceres, C. Stairs, V. de Anda, M.-E. Schon, K. Seitz, N. Dombrowski, W. H. Lewis, J. H. Saw, F. Homa, J. Lombard, T. Nunoura, W.-J. Li, Z.-S. Hua, , T. J. G. Ettema

The paper reconstructs the evolutionary ancestry of eukaryotes by analyzing Asgard archaea phylogenetic data and infers the last common ancestor of Asgard archaea and eukaryotes as a thermophilic chemolithotroph.

Near-complete Lokiarchaeota genomes from complex environmental samples using long and short read metagenomic analyses

E. F. Caceres, W. H. Lewis, F. Homa, T. Martin, A. Schramm, K. U. Kjeldsen, T. J. G. Ettema

This study reconstructs near-complete Lokiarchaeota genomes from sediment samples using long and short read metagenomic analyses, confirming eukaryote-like features are not due to contamination.

Evolutionary forces affecting synonymous variations in plant genomes

Y. Clement, G. Sarah, Y. Holtz, F. Homa, S. Pointet, S. Contreras, B. Nabholz, F. Sabot, L. Saune, M. Ardisson, R. Bacilieri, G. Besnard, A. Berger, C. Cardi, F. De Bellis, , S. Glemin

The paper investigates the evolutionary forces shaping synonymous variations in plant genomes, finding that GC-biased gene conversion is more prevalent and stronger than selection in most species.
