Living organisms are divided into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Whereas Bacteria and Archaea are both prokaryotes, proteins involved in information processes; replication, transcription, and translation, are more similar in Archaea and Eukarya. Here the history of the research on archaeal DNA replication is summarized and the future of the field is discussed.
