Jean-François Villeforceix
The Bureau d'Enqu{ê}tes et d'Analyses pour la S{é}curit{é} de l'Aviation Civile (BEA) has to analyze accident videos from on-board or ground cameras involving all types of aircraft…
Virus evolution : the emergence of new ideas (and re-emergence of old ones)
Jean-Michel Claverie
Reputed intractable, the question of the origin of viruses has long been neglected. In the modern literature 'Virus evolution' has come to refer to study more akin to population ge…
Giant viruses in the oceans : the 4th Algal Virus Workshop
Jean-Michel Claverie
Giant double-stranded DNA viruses (such as record breaking Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus), with particle sizes of 0.2 to 0.6 micron, genomes of 300 kbp to 1.200 kbp, and commens…
Gene & Genome Duplication in Acanthamoeba Polyphaga Mimivirus
Karsten Suhre
Gene duplication is key to molecular evolution in all three domains of life and may be the first step in the emergence of new gene function. It is a well recognized feature in larg…
Mimivirus Relatives in the Sargasso Sea
Elodie Ghedin, Jean-Michel Claverie
The discovery and genome analysis of Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus, the largest known DNA virus, challenged much of the accepted dogma regarding viruses. Its particle size (>400…
