The first congress on Viruses of Microbes took place at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France, on 21-25 June 2010. The advances in genomics and metagenomics reported at this meeting reveal striking and unexpected complexity of the virus world. Viruses, in particular viruses that infect prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes, are emerging as the most abundant class of biological entities on earth and a major evolutionary and geochemical force.
第一届微生物病毒大会于 2010 年 6 月 21 日至 25 日在法国巴黎巴斯德研究所举行。本次会议报告的基因组学和宏基因组学的进展揭示了病毒世界惊人而又出乎意料的复杂性。病毒,特别是感染原核生物和单细胞真核生物的病毒,正成为地球上最丰富的生物实体类别,并成为主要的进化和地球化学力量。
