Sequencing of seven haloarchaeal genomes reveals patterns of genomic flux.

We report the sequencing of seven genomes from two haloarchaeal genera, Haloferax and Haloarcula. Ease of cultivation and the existence of well-developed genetic and biochemical tools for several diverse haloarchaeal species make haloarchaea a model group for the study of archaeal biology. The uniqu...

description We report the sequencing of seven genomes from two haloarchaeal genera, Haloferax and Haloarcula.
