Archaeal phylogeny based on proteins of the transcription and translation machineries: tackling the Methanopyrus kandleri paradox

Céline Brochier, Patrick Forterre, Simonetta Gribaldo Genome Biology 2004, 5:R17 (26 February 2004)

This article presents a phylogenetic analysis of the Archea based on sets of transcription and translation proteins. The phylogenies shed light on the evolutionary position of Methanopyrus kandleri.
