title: Genomics: re-evaluation of translation machinery evolution.
abstract: Experiments based on genome sequence analysis have revealed unexpected complexity in the evolution of the translation apparatus, including concerted evolution of Gln-tRNA synthetase and Glu-tRNAGln amidotransferase, and a novel, class I Lys-tRNA synthetase shared by archaea and spirochaetes.
