Origin and Evolution of Viral Interleukin-10 and Other DNA Virus Genes with Vertebrate Homologues
2002
Journal of Molecular Evolution
Phylogenies of gene families including members in both vertebrates and DNA viruses of the poxvirus and/or herpesvirus families showed that the viral genes originated at widely different times over the history of life. Certain of these viral genes (for example, the genes encoding the large and small subunits of ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase) originated before animals diverged from fungi, while others originated much more recently. The most striking examples of recent origin involved viral
