Eukaryogenesis, the process which created the eukaryotic cell and lineage, is a milestone in the evolution of life, since eukaryotes include all complex cells and almost all multicellular organisms.
Eukaryotes have a life cycle that involves sexual reproduction, alternating between a haploid phase, where only one copy of each chromosome is present in each cell, and a diploid phase, with two copies of each chromosome in each cell.
Apr 27, 2020 · Eukaryogenesis was a unique major evolutionary transition resulting in a substantial increase in average cell complexity. This foundational event led to an impressive radiation of morphologically...

Feb 22, 2021 · Timing the events in the evolution of eukaryotic cells is crucial to understanding this major transition. A recent study reconstructs the origins of thousands of gene families ancestral to eukaryotes and, using a controversial approach, aims to order the events of eukaryogenesis.

The recent discovery of an archaeal lineage, the Lokiarchaeota, sharing more, and seemingly more closely related, genes with eukaryotes [ 9] represents a significant advance towards the understanding of eukaryotic origins.
May 10, 2022 · A hypothesis that challenges the dominant paradigm of eukaryotes evolving from a last universal common ancestor. It proposes that eukaryotes originated as a superorganism from a viral factory, an archaeal host and a bacterial symbiont.
