Pithovirus
The Pithovirus''' genome is one circular, double stranded DNA (dsDNA) chromosome of about 610,000 base pairs (bp.) Its DNA translate into 467 different proteins. The genome encodes all the proteins needed to produce mRNA; these proteins are present in the purified virions.Pithovirus does its entire replication cycle in its host's cytoplasm, not the more typical method of taking over the host's nucleus.
