Evolution of genome architecture in archaea: spontaneous generation of a new chromosome in Haloferax volcanii (2018)
Journal Article
Ausiannikava, D., Mitchell, L., Marriott, H., Smith, V., Hawkins, M., Makarova, K. S., …Allers, T. (2018). Evolution of genome architecture in archaea: spontaneous generation of a new chromosome in Haloferax volcanii. Molecular Biology and Evolution, 35(8), 1855-1868. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msy075

The common ancestry of archaea and eukaryotes is evident in their genome architecture. All eukaryotic and several archaeal genomes consist of multiple chromosomes, each replicated from multiple origins. Three scenarios have been proposed for the evol...

Diversity of DNA replication in the archaea (2017)
Journal Article
Ausiannikava, D., & Allers, T. (2017). Diversity of DNA replication in the archaea. Genes, 8(2), https://doi.org/10.3390/genes8020056

DNA replication is arguably the most fundamental biological process. On account of their shared evolutionary ancestry, the replication machinery found in archaea is similar to that found in eukaryotes. DNA replication is initiated at origins and is h...
