A Large Open Pangenome and a Small Core Genome for Giant Pandoraviruses
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Giant viruses of amoebae are distinct from classical viruses by the giant size of their virions and genomes. Pandoraviruses are the record holders in size of genomes and number of predicted genes. Three strains, P. salinus, P. dulcis, and P.

The rapidly expanding universe of giant viruses: Mimivirus, Pandoravirus, Pithovirus and Mollivirus [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2015 More than a century ago, the term 'virus' was introduced to describe infectious agents that are invisible by light microscopy and capable of passing through sterilizing filters. In addition to their extremely small size, most viruses have minimal genomes and gene contents, and rely almost entirely on host cell-encoded functions to multiply ...

Thirty-thousand-year-old distant relative of giant icosahedral DNA viruses with a pandoravirus morphology [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014 Significance Giant DNA viruses are visible under a light microscope and their genomes encode more proteins than some bacteria or intracellular parasitic eukaryotes. There are two very distinct types and infect unicellular protists such as Acanthamoeba .
