RNA Metabolism and Gene Expression in Archaea
This book focuses on the regulation of transcription and translation in Archaea and arising insights into the evolution of RNA processing pathways. From synthesis to degradation and the implications of gene expression, it presents the current state of kno

Outline and Synopsis
Although many reviews and books survey many aspects of RNA in Bacteria and in Eukarya, no book has so far attempted to provide a panoramic view of enzymes, machines, and pathways that synthetize, modify, and degrade RNA in Archaea, the third domain of life. The early studies of C.R Woese of microbial phylogeny based on rRNA sequences yielded the remarkable finding that the prokaryotic world was not monophyletic but separated into two distinct domains: Archaea and Bacteria. This major advance during the last part of the twentieth century opened a novel vision of the living world. The universal tree predicted that the Archaea were specific relatives of the Eukarya, to the exclusion of the Bacteria. Astonishingly, genetic information processing systems in the Archaea are often closely related to their c
