Recent research on genome evolution of large DNA viruses has highlighted a number of incredibly dynamic processes that can facilitate rapid adaptation. The genomes of amphibian-like ranaviruses - double-stranded DNA viruses infecting amphibians, reptiles, and fish (family <i>Iridoviridae</i>) - were examined to assess variation in genome content and evolutionary processes. The viruses studied were closely related, but their genome content varied considerably, with 29 genes identified that were n ...[more]
