Studies of the DNA-replication machinery of Archaea have revealed striking similarities to that of eukaryotes. Indeed, it appears that in most cases Archaea possess a simplified version of the eukaryotic replication apparatus. Studies of Archaea are therefore shedding light on the fundamental processes of DNA replication in both domains of life.
对古菌DNA复制机制的研究揭示了其与真核生物惊人的相似性。事实上,在大多数情况下,古菌似乎拥有真核生物复制装置的简化版本。因此,对古菌的研究正在阐明生命两个领域中DNA复制的基本过程。
