Lateral gene transfer, lineage-specific gene expansion and the evolution of Nucleo Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses

Nucleo Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are a diverse group that infects a wide range of eukaryotic hosts (for example, vertebrates, insects, protists,…) and also show a huge range in genome size (between 100 kb and 1.2 Mb). Here I review some recent results that shed light on the origin and g...
