This project investigates the origins of eukaryotic cells, focusing on the Asgard archaea to understand the emergence of cellular complexity. By employing advanced genomic techniques, it aims to uncover the evolutionary history and metabolic properties of these ancient organisms.
The origin of the eukaryotic cell, with its complex structural features, marks one of the prime hallmarks in the evolution of life on Earth.
Still, the events that led to the emergence of cellular complexity in eukaryotic cells are a matter of hot debate.
Current data supports scenarios in which an archaeal host cell and an alphaproteobacterial (mitochondrial) endosymbiont merged, triggering the emergence of the first eukaryotic cell.
The host cell was recently shown to share a common ancestry w…
