Phylogenetic relationships of fungi, plantae, and animalia inferred from homologous comparison of ribosomal proteins

A L Veuthey et al. J Mol Evol. 1998 Jul.

Abstract

The complete set of available ribosomal proteins was utilized, at both the peptidic and the nucleotidic level, to establish that plants and metazoans form two sister clades relative to fungi. Different phylogenetic inference methods are applied to the sequence data, using archeans as the outgroup. The evolutionary length of the internal branch within the eukaryotic crown trichotomy is demonstrated to be, at most, one-tenth of the evolutionary length of the branch leading to the cenancester of these three kingdoms.
