Please check out our latest study regarding the ecology and evolution of Panguiarchaeum @CellReports ! Our study unveils that episymbiotic associations may not be unique to DPANN archaea but may also be present in other archaea lineages. Link: https://t.co/E8eyuWQ3Di

Gene inversion led to the emergence of brackish archaeal heterotrophs in the aftermath of the Cryogenian Snowball Earth https://t.co/sed0Ruf1sH

These findings were further supported by population metagenomics and metatranscriptomics analyses, that genes involved in nutrient uptake and cell-cell interaction are highly expressed and positively selected.

Qu et al. report 10 closely related genomes from hot springs with the name Panguiarchaeum symbiosum proposed. Members of this archaeal lineage were unable to synthesize their own membranes, amino acids, and purines, which exhibit a symbiotic lifestyle similar to DPANN archaea.
