We describe the genome sequence of the protist Trichomonas vaginalis, a sexually transmitted
human pathogen. Repeats and transposable elements comprise about two-thirds of the …

Nearly all of eukaryotic diversity has been classified into 6 suprakingdom-level groups (supergroups)
based on molecular and morphological/cell-biological evidence; these are …

Coccolithophores have influenced the global climate for over 200 million years 1 . These
marine phytoplankton can account for 20 per cent of total carbon fixation in some systems 2 . …

Genome sequences of diverse free-living protists are essential for understanding eukaryotic
evolution and molecular and cell biology. The free-living amoeboflagellate Naegleria …

Cryptophyte and chlorarachniophyte algae are transitional forms in the widespread secondary
endosymbiotic acquisition of photosynthesis by engulfment of eukaryotic algae. Unlike …

The presence of mitochondria and related organelles in every studied eukaryote supports
the view that mitochondria are essential cellular components. Here, we report the genome …

Adaptor protein (AP) complexes sort cargo into vesicles for transport from one membrane
compartment of the cell to another. Four distinct AP complexes have been identified, which are …

The emergence of an endomembrane system was a crucial stage in the prokaryote-to-eukaryote
evolutionary transition. Recent genomic and molecular evolutionary analyses have …

In which taxa did H1 linker histones appear in the course of evolution? Detailed comparative
analysis of the histone H1 and histone Hl‐related sequences available to date suggests …

Lysosomal targeting of ubiquitylated endocytic cargo is mediated in part by the endosomal
sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) complexes, a system conserved between …
