This project examines giant viruses to understand their host range and genome adaptation. It combines computational and experimental methods to explore how codon usage influences viral fitness and evolutionary processes.
For more than a century, viruses were considered tiny particles, fully dependent on their host cells to replicate.
The recent discovery of giant viruses, containing unusually large genomes, challenged this assumption and blurred the sharp division between viruses and cellular life.
It was also striking to learn that many of the giant virus genomes encode translation-related genes, indicating that they are presumably more independent -in terms of translation- as compared to other viruses and pote…
