Pandora virus


Merged from "So we have to share our name with yet another thing" by Binky
 
Namely a class of huge virusses: http://phys.org/news/2013-07-huge-viruses-pandora-french.html
 
Yesterday a science paper came out about these virusses they are about 0.7µm big which is as big as an amoebe or  bacteria which is huge for a virus. Also the size of the genome of these virusses at least 2.5MB is very large compare to other virusses. First they were mistaken for bacteria, but now they form the new class of Pandora virusses 
 
:p
