give its description?
They are oval in shape and are about 1 micrometer in length.
Pandoravirus
Pandoraviruses are oval in shape and are about 1 micrometer (1000 nanometers) in length.
give two other names used for the protein coat of a virus UNANSWERABLE where did it get its name? The word is from the Latin neuter referring to poison and other noxious liquids, from the same Indo-European base as Sanskrit , Avestan , and ancient Greek (all meaning "poison") what is its genome size? The smallest—the ssDNA circoviruses, family "Circoviridae"—code for only two proteins and have a genome size of only two kilobases; the largest—the pandoraviruses—have genome sizes of around two megabases which code for about 2500 proteins. is there any therapy associated with? Yes, Virotherapy what is it? It involves the use of genetically modified viruses to treat diseases. mention its classification? It is based classification on phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. who discovered the viruses which have genome sizes of around two megabases? UNANSWERABLE does it have any kind of affinities? Approximately 93% of Pandoravirus genes are not known from any other microbes, suggesting they may belong to an as of yet undescribed "fourth domain" aside from Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes. how is its presence in the environment? They are mostly found in marine environments, infecting amoebae.

Pandoravirus [SEP] Description
Pandoraviruses are oval in shape and are about 1 micrometer (1000 nanometers) in length. Other viruses range from 50 to 100 nanometers. In addition to being large physically, Pandoraviruses have a large genome made up of 2,500 genes, compared to only 10 genes on average in other viruses. For example, the Influenza A virus contains 7 genes and HIV contains only 9 genes. Gene content varies among species of Pandoravirus, with "Pandoravirus salinus", containing 2,500 genes and "Pandoravirus dulcis" containing about 1,500 genes. Pandoraviruses were originally mistaken for bacteria, however, they are missing some of the distinct features of bacteria such as the ability to make their own proteins.
