The determination and analysis of complete genome sequences have recently enabled many major advances to be made in the area of microbial evolutionary biology. These include the determination of the first genome of a Crenarchaeota, the suggestion that horizontal gene transfer may be the rule rather than the exception, and revelations about how genomes evolve on short timescales.
全基因组序列的测定与分析近来推动了微生物进化生物学领域取得诸多重大进展。这些进展包括首次测定泉古菌门的基因组、提出水平基因转移或许是规律而非个例，以及揭示基因组在短时间尺度上如何进化。
