What is Host-Calibrated Time Tree of Giant Viruses about?
This study reconstructs the evolutionary timeline of eukaryotic giant DNA viruses (Nucleocytoviricota) by inferring maximum divergence times using host taxon ages. The results suggest that the last common ancestor of Nucleocytoviricota existed over 1,000 million years ago, with significant lineage diversification linked to host shifts, particularly from amoebozoans to animals. These findings enhance our understanding of virus-host interactions and the ecological roles of giant viruses throughout Earth
