The origin and early evolution of eukaryotes in the light of phylogenomics

Eugene V Koonin Genome Biology 2010, 11:209 (5 May 2010)

This article is part of a collection on 10th Anniversary...

Comparative genomics and new phylogenies of eukaryote groups suggest a scenario in which the mitochondrial endosymbiosis triggered the origin of eukaryotes.

Identification of an ortholog of the eukaryotic RNA polymerase III subunit RPC34 in Crenarchaeota and Thaumarchaeota suggests specialization of RNA polymerases for coding and non-coding RNAs in Archaea

Fabian Blombach, Kira S Makarova, Jeannette Marrero, Bettina Siebers, Eugene V Koonin, John Oost Biology Direct 2009, 4:39 (14 October 2009)

While Archaea are thought to possess a single RNA polymerase type resembling in its subunit composition eukaryotic RNAP II, the identified archaeal RPC34 orhtolog implicates functional specialization of archaeal RNAPs.
