    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eukaryote Tree of Life; Excavata; phylogenetics; phylogenomics; Mitochondria; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

    Abstract : My thesis aims to solve deep nodes in the eukaryote tree of life (eToL), by developing new data sets and new approaches to analysing them. In paper I, I described a dataset of 76 universal eukaryotic proteins of bacterial descent (euBacs), in order to test the relations among the three main divisions of mitochondriate eukaryotes (Amorphea, Diaphretickes and Discoba).

    Abstract : There are ~12 supergroups of complex-celled organisms (eukaryotes), but relationships among them (including the root) remain elusive. For Paper I, I developed a dataset of 37 eukaryotic proteins of bacterial origin (euBac), representing the conservative protein core of the proto-mitochondrion. READ MORE
