Coevolutionary and Phylogenetic Analysis of Mimiviral Replication Machinery Suggest the Cellular Origin of Mimiviruses

9 Feb 2021

Abstract excerpt

Mimivirus is one of the most complex and largest viruses known. The origin and evolution of Mimivirus and other giant viruses have been a subject of intense study in the last two decades. The two prevailing hypotheses on the origin of Mimivirus and other viruses are the reduction hypothesis, which posits that viruses emerged from modern unicellular organisms; whereas the virus-first hypothesis proposes viruses as...
