Now published. Very cool research. Somehow, I'd like to summarise this with "Our ancestors learnt how to crawl. The rest is history." ;-) Us eukaryotes branch from *within* these archaea, at least our nuclear genomes do (see Symbiogenesis). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Freaking wild videos - go watch all of them! I cannot decide which one I love more! Radler et al. "Dynamic protrusions mediate unique crawling motility in Asgard Archaea (Promethearchaeota)" Very creative live-microscopy work #testthymetagenomichypotheses www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
