  • Wikipedia, May 4, 2020(Cystovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Cystoviridae; Cystoviruses are distinguished by their tripartite dsRNA genome, totaling ~14 kb in length and their protein and lipid outer layer. No other bacteriophage has any lipid in its outer coat; Members of the Cystoviridae appear to be most closely related to the Reoviridae, but also share homology with the Totiviridae)
