摘要
The structure of a phage capsid protein provides good evidence this phage shares ancestry with an animal virus. In this and similar cases, either the viral lineages predate the emergence of the th ree contemporary domains of life, or viruses have been leaping the phylogenetic chasms that separate the domains.
