Cryo-EM structure of ssDNA bacteriophage ΦCjT23 provides insight into early virus evolution
Structural biology investigation of conserved capsid proteins facilitates the study of virus evolution. Here, characterization of the lipid-containing ssDNA bacteriophage ΦCjT23 suggests that this phage may serve as a model for the last common ancestor between ssDNA and dsDNA viruses in the Bamfordv...

Summary: | Structural biology investigation of conserved capsid proteins facilitates the study of virus evolution. Here, characterization of the lipid-containing ssDNA bacteriophage ΦCjT23 suggests that this phage may serve as a model for the last common ancestor between ssDNA and dsDNA viruses in the Bamfordvirae. |
