Evolution of genome architecture in archaea: spontaneous generation of a new chromosome in Haloferax volcanii
The common ancestry of archaea and eukaryotes is evident in their genome architecture. All eukaryotic and several archaeal genomes consist of multiple chromosomes, each replicated from multiple origins. Three scenarios have been proposed for the evolution of this genome architecture: (1) mutational...
