Peculiar morphology of Asgard archaeal cells close to the prokaryote-eukaryote boundary
ABSTRACT The emergence of complex eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic ancestors is a major enigma in the history of life. Current data suggest that Asgard archaea are the closest prokaryotic relatives of eukaryotes and have a genetic potential for cellular complexity, suggesting their key role in the...
