Archaea produce unique membrane-spanning lipids (MSLs), termed glycerol dialkyl glycerol
tetraethers (GDGTs), which aid in adaptive responses to various environmental challenges …

Inteins (intervening proteins), mobile genetic elements removed through protein splicing,
often interrupt proteins required for DNA replication, recombination, and repair. An …

CRISPR–Cas systems provide heritable immunity against viruses and other mobile genetic
elements by incorporating fragments of invader DNA into the host CRISPR array as spacers …

The sole unifying feature of the incredibly diverse Archaea is their isoprenoid‐based ether‐
linked lipid membranes. Unique lipid membrane composition, including an abundance of …

Hyperthermophilic organisms thrive in extreme environments prone to high levels of DNA
damage. Growth at high temperature stimulates DNA base hydrolysis resulting in …
