Virology: Gulliver among the Lilliputians.

Abstract excerpt

The discovery and genome sequencing of the mimivirus, a parasite of Acanthamoeba, blurs the boundary between viruses and cells: the 1.2 Mb genome of the mimivirus is predicted to contain 1262 genes and is much bigger than the genomes of many parasitic bacteria.
