Taxonomic update for giant viruses in the order Imitervirales (phylum Nucleocytoviricota) [PDF]
Archives of Virology, 2023 Large DNA viruses in the phylum Nucleocytoviricota, sometimes referred to as "giant viruses" owing to their large genomes and virions, have been the subject of burgeoning interest over the last decade. Here, we describe recently adopted taxonomic updates for giant viruses within the order Imitervirales.

Current capsid assembly models of icosahedral nucleocytoviricota viruses [PDF]
Advances in Virus Research, 2020 Nucleocytoviricota viruses (NCVs) belong to a newly established phylum originally grouped as Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses. NCVs are unique because of their large and complicated genomes that contain cellular genes with homologs from all kingdoms of life, raising intensive debates on their evolutional origins.

“Mamonoviridae”, a proposed new family of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota
Archives of Virology, 2023 Acanthamoeba castellanii medusavirus J1 is a giant virus that was isolated from a hot spring in Japan in 2019. Recently, a close relative of this virus, named medusavirus stheno T3, was isolated in Japan. Here, we describe their morphological, genomic, and gene content similarities and also propose to create a new family, "Mamonoviridae", a new genus, "

The GC% landscape of the Nucleocytoviricota
Brazilian Journal of MicrobiologyAbstract Genomic studies on sequence composition count with many different approaches, such as calculating the proportion of guanine and cytosine within a given sequence (GC% content), which can be associated with a variety of aspects of the organism’s biology. In this context, GC% can reveal clues on virus-host relationship and evolution. Here
