Genome segregation is a fundamental biological process in organisms from all domains of life. How this stage of the cell cycle unfolds in Eukarya has been clearly defined and considerable progress has been made to unravel chromosome partition in Bacteria. The picture is still elusive in Archaea. The lineages of this domain exhibit different cell-cycle lifestyles and wide-ranging chromosome copy numbers, fluctuating from 1 up to 55. This plurality of patterns suggests that a variety of mechanisms might underpin disentangling and delivery of DNA molecules to daughter cells. Here I describe recent developments in archaeal genome maintenance, including investigations of novel genome segregation machines that point to unforeseen bacterial and eukaryotic connections. Considerable diversity is observed in the features of the cell cycle of different members of the Archaea domain. For the species characterized to date, a marked divide has emerged between monoploid Crenarchaea and polyploid Euryarchaea with regard to chromosome copy number. SMC proteins appear to play an important role in chromosome segregation, although further studies are needed to substantiate their action and impact on the process. Orthologs of bacterial ParA DNA partition proteins are widespread across Archaea and have been shown to be involved in chromosome segregation in synergy with archaea-specific factors. Recent investigations have disclosed a three-component genome segregation machinery borrowing building blocks from Bacteria and Eukarya.
