Evolutionary Biology: A New Home for the Powerhouse?
Abstract
Metagenomic assemblies of oceanic datasets have unearthed novel and diverse alphaproteobacterial groups. Sophisticated phylogenetic analyses based on these metagenomes suggest that mitochondria do not descend from within Alphaproteobacteria, as typically thought, but from a still undiscovered sister lineage.
