Conserved and lineage-specific hypothetical proteins may have played a central role in the rise and diversification of major archaeal groups
Abstract Background Archaea play fundamental roles in the environment, for example by methane production and consumption, ammonia oxidation, protein degradation, carbon compound turnover, and sulfur compound transformations. Recent genomic analyses have profoundly reshaped our understanding of the d...
