Asgard archaea emerged as a key piece in the puzzle of how complex life evolved, acting as a potential link between simple archaea and eukaryotes—organisms like plants and animals whose cells contain ...

Asgard archaea may have led to the evolution of eukaryotic life ETH Zurich researchers identify actin and microtubule ...
