- W3182053804 abstract "We traverse the blurry boundary between self-replicating organic molecules (“half-life”) and life as we know it. The self-replicating molecules include prions (infectious proteins), transposons (jumping genes), viruses, and giruses. Many viruses are physically small and have few genes, being nearly totally dependent on the molecular and genetic apparatus of the host cells they infect. However, giruses, being giant viruses, are larger and can have twice the number of genes as the smallest free-living bacteria. The diversity of viral genome types, from viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes like ours to ones with single-stranded RNA genomes, makes many viruses as alien to each other as they are to us. As alien as viruses and self-replicating genes called transposons are, they have profoundly shaped the human genome. One type of transposon, the Alu element, comprises 10% of the human genome, and retroviruses such as HIV must actually integrate into our genome to reproduce. Unifying life on earth as we know it, viruses, humans, and bacteria largely share the same letters and words of the DNA code." @default.
