Time-resolved phylogenomics analysis reveals patterns in biosphere nutrient limitation through Earth history

Zhanghan Ni, Troy Osborn, Juntao Zhong, Adrian Gonzalez, Will Puzella, Aya S. Klos, Bryan Le, Alec Leonetti, Joanne Sarah Boden, Eva E. Stüeken, Rika E. Anderson

This study uses phylogenomic analysis to trace the timing of nutrient limitation genes across Earth's history, showing phosphorus genes emerged early, nitrogen later, and iron-related siderophores possibly as early as the Archean.
