Gene-Sharing Network Reveals Evolutionary Links Among Giant Viruses

Caption

Bipartite network showing shared proteins among the seven viruses. Blue nodes represent genomes, gray nodes represent proteins; gray lines indicate singletons, while wheat-colored lines indicate shared proteins, revealing evolutionary relationships. (Inset) shows furtivovirus replication inside a disrupted nucleus, producing viral particles within the nucleoplasm of the host amoeba.
