Draft Genome Sequence of Pandoravirus japonicus Isolated from the Sabaishi River, Niigata, Japan

“Pandoraviridae” is a proposed family of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota. Its features include an amphora-shaped capsid and the largest genome among all viruses. We report the isolation and genome sequencing of a new member of this family, named Pandoravirus japonicus, the third strain discovered in J...

Sumario:“Pandoraviridae” is a proposed family of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota. Its features include an amphora-shaped capsid and the largest genome among all viruses. We report the isolation and genome sequencing of a new member of this family, named Pandoravirus japonicus, the third strain discovered in Japan.
