Mriyaviruses: Small Relatives of Giant Viruses

N. Yutin, P. Mutz, M. Krupovic, E. V. Koonin

The paper identifies a new class of viruses, Mriyaviricetes, with small genomes related to giant Nucleocytoviricota viruses, suggesting they are close relatives of their ancestors and use a unique rolling circle replication mechanism.
