phycodnaviridae การใช้

• Pandoraviruses share a common ancestor with Coccolithoviruses within the Phycodnaviridae family.
• Mimiviruses are distantly related to Phycodnaviridae.
• The type species was originally thought to belong to the family " Phycodnaviridae ".
• Molecular evidence suggests that the " Phycodnaviridae " may have evolved from the family " Iridoviridae ".
• Viruses in this family belong to the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virus clade ( NCLDV ), a group which includes members of families " Asfarviridae ", " Iridoviridae ", " Phycodnaviridae " and " Poxviridae " and the genus " Dinodnavirus ".
• Based on the genome organisation and DNA replication mechanism it seems that phylogenetic relationships may exist between the rudiviruses ( " Rudiviridae " ) and the large eukaryal DNA viruses : the African swine fever virus ( " Asfarviridae " ), Chlorella viruses ( " Phycodnaviridae " ) and poxviruses ( " Poxviridae " ).
• The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virus group ( " Asfarviridae ", " Iridoviridae ", " Marseilleviridae ", " Mimiviridae ", " Phycodnaviridae " and " Poxviridae " ) along with three other families " Adenoviridae ", " Cortiviridae " and " Tectiviridae "  and the phage Sulfolobus turreted icosahedral virus and the satellite virus Sputnik all possess double ?-barrel major capsid proteins suggesting a common origin.
