All extant eukaryotes descend from the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA), which is
thought to have featured complex cellular organization. To gain insight into LECA biology …

The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are a monophyletic group of diverse
eukaryotic viruses that reproduce primarily in the cytoplasm of the infected cells and include …

Viruses with RNA genomes dominate the eukaryotic virome, reaching enormous diversity in
animals and plants. The recent advances of metaviromics prompted us to perform a detailed …

The genus Legionella comprises 65 species, among which Legionella pneumophila is a
human pathogen causing severe pneumonia. To understand the evolution of an …

Infection by the human pathogen Legionella pneumophila relies on the translocation of∼
300 virulence proteins, termed effectors, which manipulate host cell processes. However …

The roots of Arabidopsis thaliana host diverse fungal communities that affect plant health
and disease states. Here, we sequence the genomes of 41 fungal isolates representative of …

The current classification of the phylum Firmicutes (new name, Bacillota) features eight
distinct classes, six of which include known spore-forming bacteria. In Bacillus subtilis …

Diverse Gram-negative pathogens like Pseudomonas syringae employ type III secreted
effector (T3SE) proteins as primary virulence factors that combat host immunity and promote …

Abstract Background and Aims Understanding the evolutionary patterns of ecologically
relevant traits is a central goal in plant biology. However, for most important traits, we lack …
