Defining a Core Genome for the Herpesvirales and Exploring their Evolutionary Relationship with the Caudovirales

Abstract excerpt

The order Herpesvirales encompasses a wide variety of important and broadly distributed human pathogens. During the last decades, similarities in the viral cycle and the structure of some of their proteins with those of the order Caudovirales, the tailed bacterial viruses, have brought speculation regarding the existence of an evolutionary relationship between these clades. To evaluate such hypothesis, we used...
