The initial unrooted phylogeny of these organisms already begins to give insight into the use of the isoprenoid backbones. As archaea have their unique chemical structure for their membrane the geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase protein or bifunctional short chain isoprenyl diphosphate synthase in prokaryotes, demonstrates the high similarity between archaea which dramatically shoots away in this radiative phylogenetic tree (Figure 3). After finding the root for the tree (Figure 4), a Maximal Likelihood algorithm was used to generate plausible ancestoryal sequences. Through this contrast it was found that archaea likely shared a common ancestor with the following DNA sequence:
