Prokaryotic evolution and the tree of life are two different things

Eric Bapteste, Maureen A O'Malley, Robert G Beiko, Marc Ereshefsky, J Peter Gogarten, Laura Franklin-Hall, François-Joseph Lapointe, John Dupré, Tal Dagan, Yan Boucher, William Martin Biology Direct 2009, 4:34 (29 September 2009)

This article is part of a collection on Evolutionary Biology 150...

From philosophical, scientific and epistemological perspectives, we argue that the tree of life can not successfully account for prokaryotic evolution, and we briefly set out alternative models to study their evolution.

The Last Universal Common Ancestor: emergence, constitution and genetic legacy of an elusive forerunner

Nicolas Glansdorff, Ying Xu, Bernard Labedan Biology Direct 2008, 3:29 (9 July 2008)

This article is part of a collection on Origin and early evolution...

The Last Universal Common Ancestor developed in a protoeukaryotic, promiscuous and genetically redundant community of cells with a broad, moderate thermal profile and an RNA genome enclosed in a protonucleus.

Genomic context analysis in Archaea suggests previously unrecognized links between DNA replication and translation

Jonathan Berthon, Diego Cortez, Patrick Forterre Genome Biology 2008, 9:R71 (9 April 2008)

Specific functional interactions of proteins involved in DNA replication and/or DNA repair or transcription might occur in Archaea, suggesting a previously unrecognized regulatory network coupling DNA replication and translation, which might also exist in Eukarya.
