Microscopic Characterization of the Brazilian Giant Samba Virus
Viruses, 2017 Prior to the discovery of the mimivirus in 2003, viruses were thought to be physically small and genetically simple. Mimivirus, with its ~750-nm particle size and its ~1.2-Mbp genome, shattered these notions and changed what it meant to be a virus. Since

Consensus statement: Virus taxonomy in the age of metagenomics [PDF]
, 2017 The number and diversity of viral sequences that are identified in metagenomic data far exceeds that of experimentally characterized virus isolates. In a recent workshop, a panel of experts discussed the proposal that, with appropriate quality control ...

Reclassification of giant viruses composing a fourth domain of life in the new order Megavirales.
Intervirology, 2012 Interest in giant viruses has risen sharply since 2003, following the discovery of the Mimivirus and four other protist-infecting giant viruses that are linked to the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs). Despite considerable heterogeneity in hosts and genome sizes, the NCLDVs have been shown to be monophyletic based on analyses of their ...

Targeted metagenomic recovery of four divergent viruses reveals shared and distinctive characteristics of giant viruses of marine eukaryotes [PDF]
, 2019 Giant viruses have remarkable genomic repertoires—blurring the line with cellular life—and act as top–down controls of eukaryotic plankton. However, to date only six cultured giant virus genomes are available from the pelagic ocean.

Study and characterization of Glycosyltransferases from Paramecium bursaria Chlorella virus – 1 [PDF]
, 2019 openGiant Viruses are a class of uncommon cellular parasites discovered about 30 years ago1. They are defined as Nucleo Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) according to the notable viral particle dimensions (about 400nm) and the genome complexity.
