Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Archaeplastida is defined as a taxonomic assemblage comprising three sub-clades, namely Chloroplastida, Glaucophyta, and Rhodophyta plus two non-photosynthetic lineages sister to Rhodophyta (the latter three lineages collectively termed “Rhodozoa” here). The members of Archaeplastida are the descendants of the eukaryote that took up and transformed a cyanobacterial endosymbiont into a primary plastid. Recent phylogenetic analyses of multiple proteins (phylogenomic analyses) stably recovered the monophyly of Archaeplastida, but uncertainty remains in the relationship among the three sub-clades in this assemblage. The phylogenomic analyses of nucleus-encoded proteins (nuc-proteins) grouped Chloroplastida and Glaucophyta together, excluding Rhodozoa in the Archaeplastida clade, albeit the union of Chloroplastida and Rhodophyta was often inferred from the phylogenomic analyses of plastid-encoded proteins (pld-proteins). In this study, we challenged the previously recognized but as-yet-explicitly addressed issue in the tree of Archaeplastida (ToA). The detailed analyses of the nuc-protein and pld-protein supermatrices revealed that taxon sampling can invoke different types of phylogenetic artifacts into the inferences from both supermatrices examined here. In the end, we propose a working hypothesis for the ToA and provide future perspectives toward resolving the ToA.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
