Of interest!

Even more recent evidence for the eocyte hypothesis!

http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/42902/title/Prokaryotic-Microbes-with-Eukaryote-like-Genes-Found/

A clade of archaebacteria found via metagenomics at an undersea vent (uncultured). Contains huge numbers of eukaryotic characteristic genes that are important for formerly eukaryotic specific functions. The eukaryotes cluster within this clade rather than as a sister clade.
