Mriyaviruses: small relatives of giant viruses

ABSTRACT The phylum Nucleocytoviricota consists of large and giant viruses that range in genome size from about 100 kilobases (kb) to more than 2.5 megabases. Here, using metagenome mining followed by extensive phylogenomic analysis and protein structure comparison, we delineate a distinct group of...
