Abstract
Among 60 organisms, the intraspecies genetic distances between tRNAs cognate for different amino acids, between the initiator and elongator tRNAs for Met, and between potentially paralogous pairs of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are found to be at a minimum within the Methanopyrus kandleri genome. These results indicate an exact congruence between the evidence from tRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase genes locating the root of life closest to this organism.Entities:
