@DEEMteam_Orsay @britbaker11 Nice, this agrees with the result that we published in 2005 with Celine Brochier and Simonetta Gribaldo on the position of Nanoarchaeum equitans, the first isolated DPANN archaeon. DOI: 10.1186/gb-2005-6-5-r42

Abstract in brief
- Nanoarchaeum equitans, a tiny hyperthermophile with the smallest genome, was initially thought to represent a new ancient archaeal group called Nanoarchaeota, diverging before the main split between Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota.
- New phylogenetic analyses using ribosomal proteins and genome comparisons suggest that N. equitans is more closely related to Euryarchaeota, especially Thermococcales, rather than forming a separate, early-diverging phylum.
- The placement of N. equitans in the archaeal family tree may be influenced by its rapid evolution and gene transfer events, but evidence points toward it being part of a fast-evolving euryarchaeal lineage rather than a completely new ancient group.
