Proteomic properties reveal phyloecological clusters of Archaea.

In this study, we propose a novel way to describe the variety of environmental adaptations of Archaea. We have clustered 57 Archaea by using a non-redundant set of proteomic features, and verified that the clusters correspond to environmental adaptations to the archaeal habitats. The first cluster c...

description In this study, we propose a novel way to describe the variety of environmental adaptations of Archaea.
