Scaling relation between genome length and particle size of viruses provides insights into viral life history

Summary: In terms of genome and particle sizes, viruses exhibit great diversity. With the discovery of several nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) and jumbo phages, the relationship between particle and genome sizes has emerged as an important criterion for understanding virus evolution. We...
