Origins and evolution of viruses of eukaryotes: The ultimate modularity.

Virology - 1 May 2015

Koonin Eugene V, Dolja Valerian V, Krupovic Mart

Abstract excerpt

Viruses and other selfish genetic elements are dominant entities in the biosphere, with respect to both physical abundance and genetic diversity. Various selfish elements parasitize on all cellular life forms. The relative abundances of different classes of viruses are dramatically different between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, the great majority of viruses possess double-stranded (ds) DNA genomes,...
