Abstract
While there is a considerable body of knowledge regarding the molecular and structural biology and biochemistry of archaeal information processing machineries, far less is known about the nature of the substrate for these machineries-the archaeal nucleoid. In this article, we will describe recent advances in our understanding of the three-dimensional organization of the chromosomes of model organisms in the crenarchaeal phylum.
