Multiple evolutionary origins of giant viruses [version 1; referees: 4 approved]
F1000Research, 2018 The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are a monophyletic group of diverse eukaryotic viruses that reproduce primarily in the cytoplasm of the infected cells and include the largest viruses currently known: the giant mimiviruses, pandoraviruses,

The evolution of genome compression and genomic novelty in RNA viruses [PDF]
, 2007 The genomes of RNA viruses are characterized by their extremely small size and extremely high mutation rates ( typically 10 kb and 10(-4)/ base/ replication cycle, respectively), traits that are thought to be causally linked.

The Origin and Evolution of Viruses as Molecular Organisms [PDF]
, 2009 Viruses are the most abundant life forms and the repertoire of viral genes is greater than that of cellular genes. It is also evident that viruses have played a major role in driving cellular evolution, and yet, viruses are not part of mainstream biology,

Viral Hybrid Vectors for Somatic Integration - Are They the Better Solution? [PDF]
, 2009 The turbulent history of clinical trials in viral gene therapy has taught us important lessons about vector design and safety issues. Much effort was spent on analyzing genotoxicity after somatic integration of therapeutic DNA into the host genome. Based

Structural Characterization of Two Large Icosahedral DNA Viruses and Their Capsid Assembly Mechanisms [PDF]
, 2020 In the last three decades, many large DNA viruses were discovered and grouped into a loosely defined clade of Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDVs). NCLDVs infect a wide range of hosts from single cellular protists to large animals.

Poxvirus Host Range Genes and Virus–Host Spectrum: A Critical Review
Viruses, 2017 The Poxviridae family is comprised of double-stranded DNA viruses belonging to nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV). Among the NCLDV, poxviruses exhibit the widest known host range, which is likely observed because this viral family has been more ...
