A spectacular anomaly in the 4-mer composition of the giant pandoravirus genomes reveals a stringent new evolutionary selection process
TL;DR: A unique bias in the tetranucleotide composition of the pandoravirus genomes is discovered that can only result from an undescribed evolutionary process not encountered in any other microorganism.

Proficient Target Selection in Structural Genomics by In Vitro Protein Expression on Gateway Recombination Plasmids
Vincent Monchois,Renaud Vincentelli,Céline Deregnaucourt,Chantal Abergel,Jean-Michel Claverie +4 more
TL;DR: It is now expected that the 3-D structure of proteins of unknown function will, in many cases, reveal their similarity to previously described protein families and will immediately provide functional hints that can then be tested experimentally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary crystallographic analysis of the Megavirus superoxide dismutase.
TL;DR: Megavirus chilensis, a close relative of the Mimivirus giant virus, is able to replicate in Acanthamoeba castellanii and has an additional gene encoding a putative superoxide dismutase.
Journal ArticleDOI
[Pithovirus sibericum: awakening of a giant virus of more than 30,000 years].
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversité des virus géants
TL;DR: La saga des virus geants (c’est-a-dire visibles en microscopie optique) a commence il y a plus d’un millier de proteines differentes participant a son cycle infectieux dans les amibes du Mimivirus.
