title: Transcription regulation in the third domain.
abstract: The ability of organisms to sense and respond to their environment is essential to their survival. This is no different for members of the third domain of life, the Archaea. Archaea are found in diverse and often extreme habitats. However, their ability to sense and respond to their environment at the level of gene expression has been understudied when compared to bacteria and eukaryotes. Over the last decade, the field has expanded, and a variety of unique and interesting regulatory schemes have been unraveled. In this review, the current state of knowledge of archaeal transcription regulation is explored.
