SV40 is a double-stranded, circular DNA virus belonging to the Polyomaviridae ( earlier Papovavirus ) family, Orthopolyomavirus genus.
42.
Other viral fossils originate from DNA viruses such as hepadnaviruses ( a group that includes hepatitis B ).
43.
Homologous recombination is the proposed mechanism whereby the DNA virus " human herpesvirus-6 " integrates into human telomeres.
44.
Its genetic structure corresponds to the class I of the Baltimore classification : dsDNA, being a DNA virus.
45.
There are certain safe forms of DNA viruses to serve this carrier purpose and integrate into the human genome.
46.
In theory, researchers would take the needed gene and insert it into the DNA virus that causes the common cold.
47.
The genomes in this group have some similarity with the Sclerotinia sclerotiorum hypovirulence associated DNA virus 1 which infects fungi.
48.
Based on these observations, it has been proposed that small DNA viruses have originated via recombination between RNA viruses and plasmids.
49.
Poxviruses are unique among DNA viruses in that they replicate in the cytoplasm of the cell rather than in the nucleus.
50.
A virus Cassava associated circular DNA virus that has some similarity to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum hypovirulence associated DNA virus 1 has been isolated.
