Gene overlapping and size constraints in the viral world

BACKGROUND: Viruses are the simplest replicating units, characterized by a limited number of coding genes and an exceptionally high rate of overlapping genes. We sought a unified evolutionary explanation that accounts for their genome sizes, gene overlapping and capsid properties. RESULTS: We perfor...
