About this document
Ancient Viral Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases by tsyhanfe is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the evolutionary origins of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) in nucleocytoviruses by analyzing 4,168 viral genomes and identifying 780 aaRS sequences. The findings suggest that some viral aaRSs have ancient origins predating the last common eukaryotic ancestor, indicating that ancestral nucleocytoviruses possessed complex genomes with an expanded set of aaRSs during the proto-eukaryotic era. The research provides insights into the intricate evolutionary trajectories of viral aaRSs,
