Much of the higher-order phylogeny of eukaryotes is well resolved, but the root remains
elusive. We assembled a dataset of 183 eukaryotic proteins of archaeal ancestry to test this …

Viruses are ubiquitous in the oceans, exhibiting high abundance and diversity. Here, we
systematically analyze existing genomic sequences of marine prokaryotes to compile a …

Remote deep-ocean sediment (DOS) ecosystems are among the least explored biomes on
Earth. Genomic assessments of their biodiversity have failed to separate indigenous benthic …
