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.

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.
