Unravelling the origin of complex life

    Project: NWO project

    Project Details

    Description

    Complex life on our planet evolved from simpler unicellular microorganisms. Recent studies identified the Asgard archaea as the closest microbial relatives of complex cellular life forms such as plants, animals and fungi. This proposal is set out to study the evolutionary relationship between Asgard archaea and eukaryotes in more detail by using advanced computational analyses of available genome data.
