TL;DR: The results illustrate major differences between crenarchaea and euryarchaea, especially for their DNA replication mechanism and cell cycle processes and their translational apparatus.

TL;DR: The complete sequence of the Bombyx mori fibroin gene has been determined by means of combining a shotgun sequencing strategy with physical map-based sequencing procedures, showing a spectacular organization, with a highly repetitive and G-rich core flanked by non-repetitive 5' and 3' ends.

TL;DR: The replication origin in three Pyrococcus species was found to be highly conserved, and several eukaryotic-like DNA replication genes were clustered around it, and the chromosomal region containing the replication terminus was a hot spot of genome shuffling.

TL;DR: Analysis of phylogenomic and supernetwork analyses of the most comprehensive dataset analyzed so far strongly support that plastids evolved from deep-branching cyanobacteria and that the present-day closest cultured relative of primary plastid is Gloeomargarita lithophora.

TL;DR: An extensive re‐annotation of the genome of P. abyssi is performed to obtain an integrated view of its phylogeny, molecular biology and physiology and several candidate genes have been identified that might encode missing links in key metabolic pathways.
