Archaea – a window into deep evolutionary transitions

The tree of life (TOL) is a power­ful frame­work to de­pict the evo­lu­tio­na­ry his­to­ry of cel­lu­lar or­ga­nisms through time, from our mi­cro­bi­al orig­ins to the di­ver­si­fi­ca­ti­on of mul­ti­cel­lu­lar eu­ka­ryo­tes that shape the vi­si­ble bio­s­phe­re to­day. Du­ring the past de­ca­des, our per­cep­ti­on of the TOL has fun­da­men­tal­ly chan­ged in part due to pro­found me­tho­do­lo­gi­cal ad­van­ces which al­lo­wed a more ob­jec­tive ap­proach to stu­dy or­ga­nis­mal di­ver­si­ty and led to the dis­co­very of ma­jor new bran­ches in the TOL. In this talk, I will pre­sent as­pects of my re­se­arch that have cont­ri­bu­ted to new key in­sights into ma­jor evo­lu­tio­na­ry tran­si­ti­ons in the ToL in­clu­ding the di­ver­gence bet­ween ar­chaea and bac­te­ria, the ori­gin of the eu­ka­ryo­tic cell and the role of ar­chae­al sym­bi­onts in eco­lo­gy and evo­lu­ti­on.
