  1. How these strange #cells may explain the origin of complex life
    Asgard archaea bear traits that hint at how #eukaryotes emerged
    #Archaea: single-celled organisms that look much like bacteria. 10ya, new group called #AsgardArchaea was identified in sediments from Atlantic. Nothing like us: They live mostly in places with little or no oxygen, and almost unbelievably ancient, perhaps 3B yr. Yet their #DNA shows they are close to humans on tree of life

  3. #AsgardArchaea team,
    led by @archaeal.bsky.social from @texasscience.bsky.social

    — sequencing the DNA collected from the mouth of Rio de la Plata to the continental shelf of Uruguay

    to detect #Asgards,
    a group of single-celled organisms
    -- and our closest microbial relatives on the tree of life❗️

    NB my feature about #AsgardArchaea came out a month ago (covering a preprint version of this paper among other things), so the magic link should still be functional for another 2 weeks and a bit:

    #Actin cytoskeleton and complex cell architecture in an Asgard archaeon nature.com/articles/s41586-022

    A complex actin-based #cytoskeleton predated the emergence of the first #eukaryotes and was a crucial feature in the evolution of the #AsgardArchaea phylum by scaffolding elaborate cellular structures.
