Ourmiavirus
Encyclopedia
The Ourmiavirus is a genus of a virus
with no family. Virions are encapsulated, non-enveloped, elongated and shows polyhedral
symmetry with a length of 26-76 nm and a width of 18-26 nm. The genome
is segmented into three segments or four segments of linear, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA
, 1470-10650 nucleotides in length.

Genome
In modern molecular biology and genetics, the genome is the entirety of an organism's hereditary information. It is encoded either in DNA or, for many types of virus, in RNA. The genome includes both the genes and the non-coding sequences of the DNA/RNA....
