  2. Multipartite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipartite

    Multipartite is a class of virus that have segmented nucleic acid genomes, with each segment of the genome enclosed in a separate viral particle. Only a few ssDNA viruses have multipartite genomes, but a many more RNA viruses have multipartite genomes. [1]

  3. Double-stranded RNA viruses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-stranded_RNA_viruses

    Double-stranded RNA viruses (dsRNA viruses) are a polyphyletic group of viruses that have double-stranded genomes made of ribonucleic acid.The double-stranded genome is used as a template by the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) to transcribe a positive-strand RNA functioning as messenger RNA (mRNA) for the host cell's ribosomes, which translate it into viral proteins.

  4. Reassortment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reassortment

    It is particularly used when two similar viruses that are infecting the same cell exchange genetic material. More specifically, it refers to the swapping of entire segments of the genome, which only occurs between viruses with segmented genomes. [1] (All known viruses with segmented genomes are RNA viruses.)

  5. RNA virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_virus

    A number of satellite virusesviruses that require the assistance of another virus to complete their life cycle—are also known. Their taxonomy has yet to be settled. The following four genera have been proposed for positive sense single stranded RNA satellite viruses that infect plants— Albetovirus , Aumaivirus , Papanivirus and ...

  6. Orthornavirae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthornavirae

    Orthornavirae is a kingdom of viruses that have genomes made of ribonucleic acid (RNA), including genes which encode an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). The RdRp is used to transcribe the viral RNA genome into messenger RNA (mRNA) and to replicate the genome.

  7. Virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus

    Segmented genomes confer evolutionary advantages; different strains of a virus with a segmented genome can shuffle and combine genes and produce progeny viruses (or offspring) that have unique characteristics. This is called reassortment or 'viral sex'. [68]

  8. Bunyavirales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunyavirales

    Bunyavirales is an order of segmented negative-strand RNA viruses with mainly tripartite genomes. Member viruses infect arthropods, plants, protozoans, and vertebrates. [2] It is the only order in the class Ellioviricetes. [1] The name Bunyavirales derives from Bunyamwera, [3] where the original type species Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus was first ...

  9. Articulavirales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulavirales

    The order name Articulavirales derives from Latin articulata meaning "segmented" (alluding to the segmented genome of member viruses) added to the suffix for virus orders -virales. [3] The class name Insthoviricetes is a portmanteau of member viruses " in fluenza, i s avirus, and tho gotovirus" added to the suffix -viricetes for virus classes.
