  • The origin of primary plastids in an ancestor of Archaeplastida gave eukaryotes photosynthetic capabilities. This study used single-cell genomics and phylogenomics to infer the evolutionary origin of the plastid-lacking phylum Picozoa, a group of marine microbial heterotrophic eukaryotes, showing that they belong to the Archaeplastida and changing our understanding of plastid evolution.

  • Flavivirus infection leads to a rearrangement of host cell ER membranes that creates an environment permissive to viral replication. The morphology of these membrane rearrangements is known, but the mechanisms involved are unclear. Here, atlastins—ER-resident membrane-bound GTPases of the dynamin family—are shown to be targeted by flaviviruses to establish their replication organelle and for virion maturation and secretion.

  • Conceptualising the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor (LECA) is essential for unravelling early evolution, yet there is disagreement over what form LECA took. Here the authors examine four potential forms of LECA: an abstract phylogenetic state, a single cell, a population, and a consortium of organisms.
