Correction to: Nature 10.1038/s41586-023-06186-2 Published online 14 June 2023
Our manuscript included a phylogenomic study of the evolutionary relationship between eukaryotes and Asgard archaea, showing that eukaryotes likely emerged from a bona fide Asgard archaeal ancestor. Our results suggested that eukaryotes and the heimdallarchaeial order Hodarchaeales form a monophyletic group. A set of 57 phylogenetic markers (NM57) was central to reach these conclusions. After the publication of our study, we noticed that three of these markers were partially redundant, as they belong to paralogous families. We have therefore reduced this dataset to 54 non-redundant markers (NM54; we removed markers M127, M028, and MA54) and used the same methodology to re-run all phylogenomic analyses presented in the paper.
The results of the analyses of the corrected dataset are consistent with the original findings: while we observe small variations in statistical support, the overall trends support that eukaryotes are placed within Heimdallarchaeia, as sister-group to the order Hodarchaeales when both Susko-Roger-4 (SR4)-recoding and Fast-site removal (FSR) treatments were combined.
