@cstairs@fburki I would think this makes your work more relevant. BTW - you might want to cf Gabaldon 2018 (IUBMB Life). We more or less just mapped his hypothesis onto our tree.
@andrewjroger@fburki @Ryan_Gawryluk Alternatively, how do you explain a lineage of aerobic eukaryotes existing for 100s of myr, from pre-LECA to origin of Discoba, gave rise to multiple anaerobic and presumably aerobic lineages and then all the aerobes vanished except “neozoa” (or whatever you want to call them).
@eme_laura @ScienceAdvances Thanks for pointing this out. I will try to sort this out with SciAdv tomorrow. Meanwhile, I would be glad to send you the files if you want.
