Animals, fungi, and their closest protist relatives comprise the clade Opisthokonta. Although they are comparatively closely related, animals and fungi have diverged greatly from one another. A new study demonstrates that the genomic features that are characteristic of animals and fungi arose even before the origin of these two kingdoms.
动物、真菌及其最接近的原生动物亲属构成了后口动物分支。尽管它们之间的亲缘关系相对较近,但动物和真菌已经从彼此中分化出了很大的差异。一项新的研究表明,动物和真菌特有的基因组特征甚至在这两个王国出现之前就已经出现了。
