Serial innovations by Asgard archaea shaped the DNA replication machinery of the early eukaryotic ancestor - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Phylogenetic and biochemical analyses show a diversity of components of the DNA replication machinery in different Asgard archaea that contributed to the eukaryotic DNA replication machinery.

(1/2) Preprint alert! In collaboration with
@yifanzhou.bsky.social
and
@mkrupovic.bsky.social
we describe host-parasite layers in hypersaline systems of the Danakil Depression. Haloarchaea host nanohaloarchea and both are infected by viruses (12 new families found).

After 3 years of work, we are thrilled to submit this preprint. In collaboration with DEEM Team, we uncovered the complex interactions between haloarchaea, nanohaloarchaea, and their respective viruses and virus satellites. See🧵

Nested parasitism in hypersaline environments: viruses and virus satellites of haloarchaea and their nanosized cellular symbionts
It is increasingly recognized that hyperparasitism, whereby a parasite exploits a host which itself is a parasite, is a common phenomenon across ecosystems and domains of life. Here, to explore hyperp...
