The Marseillevirus is the prototype of a family of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) of eukaryotes (commonly known as Giant Viruses). It was isolated from amoeba. Its genome has a length of 368-kb, with a G+C content of 44.73%, which makes Marseillevirus the fifth largest viral genome sequenced so far. Its genome encodes a minimum of 49 proteins, and some messenger RNAs.
