Re: Bug#630753: ITP: snap -- gene finding with HMMs in Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes



There is a long standing argument about whether Archaea are either.

I think that the current received wisdom is the so-called three kingdom division into Acheae, Bacteria and Eukaryota.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaea for a popularized account.

It's my understanding (and correct me if I'm wrong) that cells are
either eukaryotic or prokaryotic; there isn't a third class.  If so,
it's probably better to use a term that includes both, since as it reads
now, it implies that it handles these two types, but not some unknown
third.
