Asgard or Asgardarchaeota[2] is a proposed superphylum consisting of a group of archaea that contain eukaryotic signature proteins.[3] It appears that the eukaryotes, the domain that contains the animals, plants, and fungi, emerged within the Asgard,[4] in a branch containing the Heimdallarchaeota.[5] This supports the two-domain system of classification over the three-domain system.[6][7]
