5) DNA repair mechanisms

DNA repair is a broad subject since there are many mechanisms of genome proofreading. Archaea has many similarities to eukarya in its DNA repair mechanisms. Often the archaea system has been used as a simpler model for eukarya. However, in recent years, it has become clear that archaea are actually a blend of features from all domains of life. I have found one good review on the subject of DNA repair in Archaea that would need to be dissected in detail before we pursue this issue farther Archaeal DNA replication and repair.

I have a figure from this paper that would help explain what is known so far about archaeal DNA repair, but I am not sure about copyright laws and such. See Table 2 in the paper (link above) for this figure.
