also found more evidence that viruses are key "spreaders of information," Caetano-Anolls said.

"The protein structures that other organisms share with viruses have a particular quality, they are (more widely) distributed than other structures," he said. "Each and every one of these structures is an incredible discovery in evolution. And viruses are distributing this novelty," he said.

Most studies of giant viruses are "pointing in the same direction," Caetano-Anolls said. "And this study offers more evidence that viruses are embedded in the fabric of life."
