This may only in part be
explained by the lowest coding coverage of all
archaeal genomes, 73.6% (compared to 89.2% for
group I methanogens; Table 7.2), the longest average
ORF size, 925bp (compared to 804bp for extreme
halophiles; Table 7.3), and unusually long intergenic
regions (on average 341bp in M. acetivorans
versus 122bp in A. fulgidus).
