Cavemovirus

Molecular biology

VIRION

Non enveloped, large (50 nm diameter) icosahedral particles composed of 420 subunits (T=7).

GENOME

Monopartite, open circular, double stranded DNA of about 8000 base pairs with discontinuities in both strands: one in the transcribed strand and one to three in the non-transcribed strand. Encode for 5 proteins.
