P OLYDNAVIRUS G ENES AND G ENOMES : Emerging Gene Families and New Insights into Polydnavirus Replication

Abstract excerpt

Polydnavirus genome sequencing is providing new insights into viral genome organization and viral gene function. Sequence analyses demonstrate that the genomes of these viral mutualists are largely noncoding but maintain genes and gene families that are unrelated to other viral genes. Interestingly, these organizational patterns in polydnavirus genomes are evident in both the bracovirus and ichnovirus genera,...
