List of sequenced archaeal genomes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You have new messages (last change).

This list of sequenced archaeal genomes contains all the archaeal known to have publically available complete genome sequences that have been assembled, annotated and published; draft genomes are not included. Archea are of particular interest for biotechnology since they can exist under extreme conditions.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
