Figure 7. — Phylogenetic placement of Asgard archaeal genomes and distribution of associated MGEs. The phylogeny shows the evolutionary relationships among different Asgard archaeal lineages, with symbols indicating the presence and types of published MGEs in various candidate groups. Descriptions of the phylogenomic analyses have been previously described in detail (Valentin-Alvarado et al. 2024). Our work on Atabeyarchaeia and Freyarchaeia is highlighted, demonstrating the novel MGEs identified in this study and the presence of two novel defense systems in Freyarchaeia. This figure provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge regarding MGEs across the Asgardarchaeota phylum.
