Archaea represent a diverse phylogenetic group that includes free-living, extremophile, mesophile, symbiont, and opportunistic organisms. These prokaryotic organisms share a high significant similarity with the basal transcriptional machinery of Eukarya, and they share regulatory mechanisms with Bac...
