Microbial genetics: Split genes uncovered through science fusion.

- Abstract
The article presents information the uncovering of split genes through science fusion. A growing number of completely sequenced and annotated genomes should allow building the biological parts list for every organism. The recent discovery of Nanoarchaeum equitans in hot submarine vents north of Iceland caused something of a stir. Analysis of ribosomal RNA sequence suggested that it diverged early in the archaeal lineage and might represent a previously unknown phylum. Without the complete genome of Nanoarchaeum equitans available for analysis, the fact that certain key genes were missing would probably have gone unnoticed, and the putative half genes would have been much more difficult to locate.
