as well as in a few bacteria and archaea species, the new study establishes divergent transcription—the reading of genes in both directions—as a widespread feature conserved across all three domains ...

Like bacteria, archaea are single-celled organisms. Genetically, however, there are significant differences between the two domains, especially regarding their cell envelopes and metabolic processes.

Archaea form one of the three domains of life; the others are bacteria and eukaryotes ... which are highlighted here with examples for the sharing of resources and data, as well as the building ...

For example ... the genomes of many bacteria and some archaea (Raoult & Forterre 2008). Viruses typically lack many of the genes that are universal among the three domains of cellular life ...
