In light of this uncertainty, the goals of this investigation were to infer, using nuclear-encoded SSU rRNA sequences, the timeframe within which the major lineages of heterokont algae originated and diversified, and to assess the validity of putative Proterozoic xanthophyte/phaeophyte fossils in the context of the reconstructed time-calibrated phylogeny.

Nevertheless, we regard our results as an important step towards a robust temporal perspective on the origination and diversification of the autotrophic stramenopiles, and consider the validity of putative Proterozoic xanthophyte/phaeophyte fossils (differing by as much as half billion years or more from the timescale inferred here) as being strongly rejected by the data in hand.
