- Abstract
The article discusses the evidence showing the relation of asgard archaea with eukaryotes. Topics mentioned include the two-domains of tree of life, the presence of eukaryotic signature proteins, the lack of evidence regarding the lokiarchaeal genome contamination, the phylogenetic analyses of the monophyly of asgards and eukaryotes.
