Thirty-thousand-year-old distant relative of giant icosahedral DNA viruses with a pandoravirus morphology [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 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 .

Giant Viruses—Big Surprises

Viruses, 2019
Viruses are the most prevalent infectious agents, populating almost every ecosystem on earth. Most viruses carry only a handful of genes supporting their replication and the production of capsids.

Nucleic and Amino Acid Sequences Support Structure-Based Viral Classification [PDF]

, 2017
Viral capsids ensure viral genome integrity by protecting the enclosed nucleic acids. Interactions between the genome and capsid and between individual capsid proteins (i.e., capsid architecture) are intimate and are expected to be characterized by ...
