摘要: Information transfer is fundamental to all life forms. In the third domain of life, archaea, many genes functioning in these processes are similar their eukaryotic counterparts, including DNA replication and repair, basal transcription, translation genes, while transcriptional regulators overall genome structure more bacterial-like. Among halophilic (salt-loving) genomes commonly include extrachromosomal elements, which large megaplasmids or minichromosomes. With sequencing representing ten different genera archaea availability genetic systems two diverse models, Halobacterium sp. NRC-1 Haloferax volcanii, a number have now been annotated, classified, studied. Here, we review comparative genomic, genetic, biochemical work primarily aimed at information system highlighting gene conservation differences chromosomes elements among organisms.
