Background:

  • Archaea (archaebacteria) are recognized as a distinct domain of life.
  • Their evolutionary position and relationship to Eukaryotes and Bacteria have been subjects of ongoing research.
  • Advances in molecular biology and sequencing have provided new data on Archaea.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the structure and contents of archaeal genomes.
  • To understand the evolutionary implications of archaeal genome characteristics.
  • To explore the evolution of cell structure and function in relation to Archaea.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of archaeal genome structure.
  • Comparative genomics.
  • Molecular systematic methods.
