Hundreds of novel composite genes and chimeric genes with bacterial origins contributed to haloarchaeal evolution

BACKGROUND: Haloarchaea, a major group of archaea, are able to metabolize sugars and to live in oxygenated salty environments. Their physiology and lifestyle strongly contrast with that of their archaeal ancestors. Amino acid optimizations, which lowered the isoelectric point of haloarchaeal protein...
