Family Genomoviridae: 2021 taxonomy update

The family Genomoviridae (phylum Cressdnaviricota, class Repensiviricetes, order Geplafuvirales) includes viruses with circular single-stranded DNA genomes encoding two proteins, the capsid protein and rolling-circle replication initiation protein. of vast majority members in this have been sequenced directly from diverse environmental or animal- plant-associated samples, but genomoviruses identified infecting fungi. Since last taxonomic update Genomoviridae, a number new sequenced. Here, we report on most recent update, including creation one genus, Gemytripvirus, classification ~420 into 164 species. We also announce adoption “Genus + freeform epithet” binomial system for naming all 236 officially recognized species Genomoviridae. updated taxonomy presented article has accepted by International Committee Taxonomy Viruses (ICTV).
