What is the significance of the Asgard group of Archaea to understanding the evolution of eukaryotes?...

What is the significance of the Asgard group of Archaea to understanding the evolution of eukaryotes? What sorts of proteins are encoded by the Asgard genomes? Asgard is enriched for genes that were formally thought to be unique to eukaryotes – what kinds of functions are encoded by those genes? What does the presence of these imply about the last common ancestor of Asgard and eukaryotes?
