Phylogeny of dissimilatory sulfite reductases supports an early origin of sulfate respiration.
- M. Wagner, A. Roger, J. Flax, G. A. Brusseau, D. Stahl
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of bacteriology
- 1 June 1998
Microorganisms that use sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor for anaerobic respiration play a central role in the global sulfur cycle. Here, we report the results of comparative sequence analysis… Expand
A kingdom-level phylogeny of eukaryotes based on combined protein data.
- S. Baldauf, A. Roger, I. Wenk-Siefert, W. Doolittle
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 3 November 2000
Current understanding of the higher order systematics of eukaryotes relies largely on analyses of the small ribosomal subunit RNA (SSU rRNA). Independent testing of these results is still limited. We… Expand
Phylogenomic analyses support the monophyly of Excavata and resolve relationships among eukaryotic “supergroups”
- V. Hampl, L. Hug, +4 authors A. Roger
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 10 March 2009
Nearly all of eukaryotic diversity has been classified into 6 suprakingdom-level groups (supergroups) based on molecular and morphological/cell-biological evidence; these are Opisthokonta, Amoebozoa,… Expand
The tree of eukaryotes.
- P. Keeling, G. Burger, +5 authors M. Gray
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 December 2005
Recent advances in resolving the tree of eukaryotes are converging on a model composed of a few large hypothetical 'supergroups', each comprising a diversity of primarily microbial eukaryotes… Expand
Multiple lateral transfers of dissimilatory sulfite reductase genes between major lineages of sulfate-reducing prokaryotes.
- M. Klein, M. Friedrich, +6 authors M. Wagner
- Medicine, Biology
- Journal of bacteriology
- 15 October 2001
A large fragment of the dissimilatory sulfite reductase genes (dsrAB) was PCR amplified and fully sequenced from 30 reference strains representing all recognized lineages of sulfate-reducing… Expand
The real ‘kingdoms’ of eukaryotes
- Alastair G. B. Simpson, A. Roger
- Medicine, Biology
- Current Biology
- 7 September 2004
We thank John Archibald, Tom Cavalier-Smith, Mark Farmer, Patrick Keeling, Herve Philippe and Susannah Porter for helpful discussions, and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research for fellowship… Expand
Testing congruence in phylogenomic analysis.
- J. Leigh, E. Susko, Manuela Baumgartner, A. Roger
- Medicine, Biology
- Systematic biology
- 1 February 2008
Phylogenomic analyses of large sets of genes or proteins have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the tree of life. However, problems arise because estimated phylogenies from… Expand
Ancient origin of the integrin-mediated adhesion and signaling machinery
- Arnau Sebé-Pedrós, A. Roger, Franz Lang, N. King, I. Ruiz-Trillo
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 17 May 2010
The evolution of animals (metazoans) from their unicellular ancestors required the emergence of novel mechanisms for cell adhesion and cell–cell communication. One of the most important cell adhesion… Expand
Direct evidence for secondary loss of mitochondria in Entamoeba histolytica.
Archezoan protists are though to represent lineages that diverged from other eukaryotes before acquisition of the mitochondrion and other organelles. The parasite Entamoeba histolytica was originally… Expand
Reconstructing Early Events in Eukaryotic Evolution
- A. Roger
- Medicine, Biology
- The American Naturalist
- 1 October 1999
Resolving the order of events that occurred during the transition from prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells remains one of the greatest problems in cell evolution. One view, the Archezoa hypothesis,… Expand
