Lokiarchaea are close relatives of Euryarchaeota, not bridging the gap between prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Impact of the EF2 protein on the concatenation of the curated datasets.
a. ML phylogenetic tree of the concatenated curated datasets (8,367 positions). b. ML phylogenetic tree of the concatenated curated datasets after removal of the EF2 protein (7,724 positions). c. ML phylogenetic tree of the concatenated curated datasets after removal of the Loki 3 EF2 sequence (8,425 positions). Detailed trees in S20, S22 and S25 Figs. The scale-bars represent the average number of substitutions per site. Values at nodes represent support calculated by nonparametric bootstrap (out of 100).
