The Frankenstein of Giant Viruses Found in Sewage Plant

The Frankenstein of Giant Viruses Found in Sewage Plant

New giant viruses found at an Austrian wastewater treatment plant probably evolved from a smaller virus that picked up bits of genome from its hosts and incorporated it, Frankenstein-like, into its own genetic code. The viruses - four species in a new group dubbed the Klosneuviruses - are a type of Mimivirus.
