A study led by Lluis Ribas de Pouplana, researcher at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine, gives an explanation for the divergent evolution of the genomes of different groups of species. The connection between the function of enzymes and the composition of the genomes shed light on the evolution and structure of genes, and explains differences between archaebacteria, bacteria and eukaryotes.
