摘要：

Hyperthermophilic archaea grow at temperatures that destabilize the primary structure of DNA and in evolutionary terms ley are highly divergent from other well studied microorganisms. These prokaryotes should therefore require DNA damage repair to be unusually effective, and could employ novel mechanisms for this repair, Recent genome sequence analyses and biochemical and genetic assays suggest a distribution of DNA repair strategies that raises intriguing questions for future study.
