Deevirus
''Deevirus'' is a genus of viruses in the realm ''Ribozyviria'', containing the single species ''Deevirus actinopterygii''. Various ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii Actinopterygii (; ), members of which are known as ray-finned fishes, is a class of bony fish. They comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. The ray-finned fishes are so called because their fins are webs of skin supported by bony or ...) serve as its hosts. References Virus genera {{Virus-stub ...

Ribozyviria
''Ribozyviria'' is a realm of satellite nucleic acids. Established in ICTV TaxoProp 2020.012D, the realm is named after the presence of genomic and antigenomic ribozymes of the '' Deltavirus'' type. Additional common features include a rod-like structure, a RNA-binding "delta antigen" encoded in the genome, and animal hosts. Furthermore, the size range of the genomes of these viruses is between around 1547–1735nt, they encode a hammerhead ribozyme or a hepatitis delta virus ribozyme, and their coding capacity only involves one conserved protein. Most lineages of this realm are poorly understood, the notable exception being members of the genus ''Deltavirus'', the causal agents of Hepatitis D in humans. This realm of viruses have an unclear origin. They may have derived from retrozymes (a family of retrotransposons) or one of the other groups of mobile genetic elements that descended from retrozymes (i.e. viroids and satellites). But it was also proposed that they may h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Realm (virology)
In virology, realm is the highest taxonomic rank established for viruses by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), which oversees virus taxonomy. Six virus realms are recognized and united by specific highly conserved traits: * '' Adnaviria'', which contains archaeal filamentous viruses with A-form double-stranded (ds) DNA genomes encoding a unique alpha-helical major capsid protein; * '' Duplodnaviria'', which contains all dsDNA viruses that encode the HK97-fold major capsid protein; * '' Monodnaviria'', which contains all single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses that encode a HUH superfamily endonuclease and their descendants; * '' Riboviria'', which contains all RNA viruses that encode RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and all viruses that encode reverse transcriptase; * '' Ribozyviria'', which contains hepatitis delta-like viruses with circular, negative-sense ssRNA genomes; * and '' Varidnaviria'', which contains all dsDNA viruses that encode a vertical jell ...

Actinopterygii
Actinopterygii (; ), members of which are known as ray-finned fishes, is a class of bony fish. They comprise over 50% of living vertebrate species. The ray-finned fishes are so called because their fins are webs of skin supported by bony or horny spines (rays), as opposed to the fleshy, lobed fins that characterize the class Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fish). These actinopterygian fin rays attach directly to the proximal or basal skeletal elements, the radials, which represent the link or connection between these fins and the internal skeleton (e.g., pelvic and pectoral girdles). By species count, actinopterygians dominate the vertebrates, and they constitute nearly 99% of the over 30,000 species of fish. They are ubiquitous throughout freshwater and marine environments from the deep sea to the highest mountain streams. Extant species can range in size from '' Paedocypris'', at , to the massive ocean sunfish, at , and the long-bodied oarfish, at . The vast majority of Act ...
