The family Genomoviridae (phylum Cressdnaviricota, class Repensiviricetes, order Geplafuvirales) includes viruses with circular single-stranded DNA genomes encoding two proteins, the capsid protein and the rolling-circle replication initiation protein. The genomes of the vast majority of members in this family have been sequenced directly from diverse environmental or animal- and plant-associated samples, but two genomoviruses have been identified infecting fungi. Since the last taxonomic update of the Genomoviridae, a number of new members of this family have been sequenced. Here, we report on the most recent taxonomic update, including the creation of one new genus, Gemytripvirus, and classification of ~420 new genomoviruses into 164 new species. We also announce the adoption of the "Genus + freeform epithet" binomial system for the naming of all 236 officially recognized species in the family Genomoviridae. The updated taxonomy presented in this article has been accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).
基因组病毒科(Cressdnaviricota 门,Repensiviricetes 纲,Geplafuvirales 目)包括具有圆形单链 DNA 基因组的病毒,该基因组编码两种蛋白质,衣壳蛋白和滚环复制起始蛋白。该科的绝大多数成员的基因组已经直接从各种环境或动植物相关样本中测序,但已经鉴定出两种基因组病毒感染真菌。自从基因组病毒科的上一次分类更新以来,已经对该家族的许多新成员进行了测序。在这里,我们报告了最近的分类更新,包括创建了一个新属 Gemytripvirus,并将~420 种新的基因组病毒分类为 164 个新种。我们还宣布采用“属+自由形式学名”二项式系统来命名基因组病毒科中所有 236 种正式认可的物种。本文介绍的更新分类已被病毒分类国际委员会(ICTV)接受。
