Within the families of microorganisms, there are the so-called giant viruses, named for their gigantic and complex genomes against common viruses. Microbiologists from the University of Sciences of Tokyo (TUS) have recently discovered a new type of giant virus that can help unravel the origins and evolution of viruses, as well as their relationship with living organisms.This new giant virus, called furtivovirus, was found in the Inasegawa River,…
