    Origins of Viruses: Which Hypothesis Is Biologically Plausible? ... These genes are rarely discussed in the models of virus origin and evolution, and instead most evolutionary studies rely on a very small subset of viral genes for which we can find reliable cellular homologs. Often such homologies are interpreted as gene uptake from cells by ...

  4. Introduction to virus origins and their role in biological evolution

    The theory of a cellular origin of viruses was already put forward in the twentieth century when it was evidenced that complex DNA viruses encoded enzymes and immunomodulatory proteins that had cellular counterparts. The virus-generating cells could be autonomously functional from the onset (as autonomous as individual cells can be) or belong ...

    The reduction hypothesis suggests that the origin of cells preceded that of viruses, with DNA viruses evolving via reduction in their genomes. The escape hypothesis deems viruses as selfish genetic elements that escaped control of cellular machinery and 'pickpocketed' genes via HGT. (B) Hybrid models of viral evolution support statements ...

  6. The origin of viruses and their possible roles in major evolutionary

    The virus-first hypothesisThe virus-first hypothesis has been revived in the last decade by Wolfram Zillig who suggested that viruses originated in the prebiotic word, using the primitive soup as a host (Prangishvili et al., 2001). Such hypothesis is in line with the view, advocated by several molecular biologists, that the formation of cells ...

  7. Ancient or New

    The origin of viruses is ancient and the details are uncertain. Viruses may have preceded cellular life, may have arisen in parallel with cells, or maybe evolved from early cellular life forms. This chapter will explore the various hypotheses for viral origins and the evidence for and against each hypothesis.

  9. A phylogenomic data-driven exploration of viral origins and evolution

    The origin of viruses remains mysterious because of their diverse and patchy molecular and functional makeup. Although numerous hypotheses have attempted to explain viral origins, none is backed by substantive data. We take full advantage of the wealth of available protein structural and functional data to explore the evolution of the proteomic ...

  10. 5.3: History of Viruses

    Devolution or regressive hypothesis. This hypothesis proposes to explain the origin of viruses by suggesting that viruses evolved from free-living cells. However, many components of how this process might have occurred are a mystery. Escapist or progressive hypothesis. This hypothesis accounts for viruses having either an RNA or a DNA genome ...

  11. 21.1B: Evolution of Viruses

    While most findings agree that viruses don't have a single common ancestor, scholars have yet to find one hypothesis about virus origins that is fully accepted in the field. One possible hypothesis, called devolution or the regressive hypothesis, proposes to explain the origin of viruses by suggesting that viruses evolved from free-living cells.

  12. 5.1.2: Viral Evolution, Morphology, and Classification

    Most scholars agree that viruses don't have a single common ancestor, nor is there a single reasonable hypothesis about virus origins. There are current evolutionary scenarios that may explain the origin of viruses. One such hypothesis, the "devolution" or the regressive hypothesis, suggests that viruses evolved from free-living cells, or ...

  13. Origins of Viruses: Hypotheses and Theories

    The Three Classical Hypotheses on the Origins of Viruses. 1. Virus-First Hypothesis. One of the hypotheses on the origins of viruses is the virus-first hypothesis, which asserts that they arose from complex molecules of proteins and nucleic acids before cells appeared on earth. Essentially, it argues that viruses predated primitive forms of ...

    Viruses of one particular group, the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), best illustrate this hypothesis. These viruses, which include smallpox virus and the recently discovered giant of ...

  15. Viral evolution

    Virus-first hypothesis: Viruses evolved from complex molecules of protein and nucleic acid before cells first appeared on earth. ... Based on the analyses of the evolution of the replicative and structural modules of viruses, a chimeric scenario for the origin of viruses was proposed in 2019. According to this hypothesis, the replication ...

  17. The Origin of Virions and Virocells: The Escape Hypothesis Revisited

    Three types of hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of viruses: the " virus first " hypothesis in which viruses originated before cells, the " regression hypothesis ", in which cells or proto-cells evolved into virions by regressive evolution and the " escape hypothesis ", in which fragments of cellular genomes ...

  18. The origin of viruses

    The origin of replicons is a general problem, which encompasses both the origin of viruses and those of cells. The most specific aspect of the origin of viruses is therefore the problem of the origin of virions. ...

    Abstract In this review, the role of transposons in the origin of viruses, losing the traits of their evolutionary precursors due to their high mutability, is considered. However, there are a number of common properties of viruses and transposons suggesting their phylogenetic relationship, including the ability to integrate into the host genome, specific activation in certain tissues, high ...
