Editor’s summary
Research confirming that the Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses, from smallpox to mimivirus, evolved from a single common ancestor. Interestingly a number of core genes, carrying out the same function in these diverse viruses, were unrelated to each other but were instead independently acquired from their eukaryotic hosts. This remarkable example of convergent evolution reveals a complex genetic history for an important group of viruses.
