Unlike vertebrates and RNA-containing viruses, the objective estimate of molecular clock for DNA-containing viruses was so far absent. An extended central conservative genomic region of orthopoxviruses (about 102 kbp) and the sequence of DNA polymerase gene (about 3 kbp) of the viruses belonging to various genera from the family Poxviridae were analyzed. During this analysis, the known dating of variola virus...
