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…
Mimivirus and the emerging concept of "giant" virus
Jean-Michel Claverie, Hiroyuki Ogata, Stéphane Audic +3
The recently discovered Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus is the largest known DNA virus. Its particle size (>400 nm), genome length (1.2 million bp) and large gene repertoire (911…
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…
