Laura and her collaborators just published the results of a 5-year effort undertaken in Thijs Ettema’s group on the Asgard archaeal ancestors of eukaryotes, combining metagenomics, phylogenomics, ancestral reconstruction, and metabolic inferences.
After 5 years of an emotional roller-coaster, we are so happy to see our latest Asgard adventure published! https://t.co/EbcJ7GIHqb A huge thanks to my brilliant co-first authors and friends @DanielTamarit & @dh5alfa , and of course @Ettema_lab ! A thread 🧵.
