Distribution of information-processing and cell division components in Archaea. Data were extracted from Spang et al. (2010) and Brochier-Armanet et al. (2011). Note that this list is susceptible to evolve with the availability of new archaeal genome sequences. The relationships among main archaeal lineages are still unclear apart from the grouping of Thaumarchaeota and ‘Aigarchaeota' in agreement with Brochier-Armanet et al. (2011) and Nunoura et al. (2011). Black and empty squares indicate the presence or absence of the corresponding gene in a given lineage, whereas hashed squares indicate the presence in only a few members. ‘F' indicates that the corresponding genes are fused. The genes that are also present in Eucarya are underlined, whereas those present also in Bacteria are indicated by asterisks.
