INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF TRNA AND PHYLOGENETICS OF TRANSLATION FACTORS IN AMOEBOZOA-INFECTING NUCLEOCYTOVIRICOTA

Investigations into the Diversity and Distribution of tRNA and Phylogenetics of Translation Factors in Amoebozoa-Infecting Nucleocytoviricota

Translation is a sine qua non process for life as we know it.Translation factors (TFs) and tRNAs are rare among viruses but are commonly found in giant viruses of the class Megaviricetes.In this study, we explored the diversity and distribution of tRNAs in giant viruses that were isolated and replicated in amoebae (phylum Amoebozoa), and investigat
