Classification : Viruses
Area : Varidnaviria
Empire : Bamfordvirae
Taxonomic characteristics
Genome : dsDNA
Baltimore : Group 1
Scientific name
Bamfordvirae
Short name
DJRV

Bamfordvirae refers to a realm of viruses . This taxon is characterized by Hauptkapsidproteine ( English major capsid protein ) with " double jelly roll " structure ( DJR viruses ). Prior to official confirmation by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) , this group was known as the " PRD1 adenovirus lineage ". The taxon is named after Dennis H. Bamford, who first postulated the evolutionary relationship of all viruses DJR main capsid proteins.

Systematics

Virophage Mavirus (bottom left) and the associated giant virus CroV

The Bamfordvirae currently (as of March 2020) include the following phyla confirmed by ICTV :

This system documents the extensive relationship between the giant viruses and their own virophages from the Lavidaviridae .
