A DNA virus is a virus that has a genome made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that is replicated by a DNA polymerase.
Single-stranded (ss)DNA viruses are extremely widespread, infect diverse hosts from all three domains of life and include important pathogens. Most ssDNA viruses possess small genomes that replicate by the rolling-circle-like mechanism initiated by ...
4 paź 2024 · DNA is the crucial genetic material present in all pathogens, except RNA viruses and prions. Pathogen-derived DNA is therefore a common signal that the immune system responds to during...
10 paź 2010 · Viruses with genomes greater than 300 kb and up to 1200 kb are being discovered with increasing frequency. These large viruses (often called giruses) can encode up to 900 proteins and also many tRNAs.
21 sty 2020 · Why DNA viruses are disproportionately linked to cancers? These questions have been addressed from the lens of evolutionary biology in this review.
30 mar 2021 · The human virome comprises bacteriophages (phages) that infect bacteria, viruses that infect other cellular microorganisms such as archaea, viruses that infect human cells and viruses present as...
Our survey of the capacity of RNA and DNA virus infections to be transmitted, directly or indirectly, between humans leads to several conclusions and practical suggestions for improving surveillance of emerging infectious diseases and targeting efforts to identify future public health threats.
