Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of archaeal research has expanded and diversified considerably over the past decade, with many new and exciting developments. The objective of this Special Issue is to assemble articles that are representative of these recent developments, and to provide an updated focus on the specific features and properties of archaea and their viruses.
