Evolution: rooting the eukaryotic tree of life

Abstract
The root of the eukaryotic tree is a major unresolved question in evolutionary biology. A recent study marshals mitochondrial genes to place that root between the enigmatic Excavates and all other eukaryotes, providing an interesting new perspective on early eukaryotic evolution.
