Duplodnaviria

Duplodnaviria is a realm of viruses that includes two kingdoms: Heunggongvirae and Shotokuvirae. The realm was established in 2020 by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) to classify double-stranded DNA viruses that replicate using a protein-primed mechanism.

Taxonomy

Duplodnaviria includes the following kingdoms:

• Heunggongvirae
• Shotokuvirae

Characteristics

Duplodnaviria viruses are characterized by their double-stranded DNA genomes and their unique protein-primed replication mechanism. This mechanism involves the use of a protein attached to the 5' end of the DNA to initiate replication. The protein remains attached to the DNA throughout the replication process.

History

The realm Duplodnaviria was established in 2020 by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). The ICTV created this realm to classify double-stranded DNA viruses that replicate using a protein-primed mechanism.
