Mimivirus has a large and complex genome compared with most other viruses.

Because its lineage is very old and could have emerged prior to cellular organisms, Mimivirus has added to the debate over the origins of life.

This has been used to suggest that Mimivirus is related to a type of DNA virus that emerged before cellular organisms and played a key role in the development of all life on Earth.

Some genes unique to Mimivirus, including those coding for the capsid, have been conserved in a variety of viruses which infect organisms from all domains.

Mimivirus is a viral genus containing a single identified species named Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus ( APMV ), or is a group of phylogenetically related large viruses ( designated usually MimiN ).

These pre-packaged transcripts can be translated without viral gene expression and are likely to be necessary to Mimivirus for replication.

Mimivirus may be a causative agent of some forms of pneumonia ; this is based mainly on indirect evidence in the form of antibodies to the virus discovered in pneumonia patients.

Although not strictly a method of classification, Mimivirus joins a group of large viruses known as nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses ( NCLDV ).

The virus called Mimivirus infects amoebae.

Mimivirus, short for " mimicking microbe ", is so called to reflect its large size and apparent Gram-staining properties.

Mimivirus shares several morphological characteristics with all members of the NCLDV group of viruses.

Mimivirus possesses many characteristics which place it at the boundary of living and non-living.

The North should thank its stars that such has been the case ; ;

As it is, they consider that the North is now reaping the fruits of excess egalitarianism, that in spite of its high standard of living the `` American way '' has been proved inferior to the English and Scandinavian ways, although they disapprove of the socialistic features of the latter.

In what has aptly been called a `` constitutional revolution '', the basic nature of government was transformed from one essentially negative in nature ( the `` night-watchman state '' ) to one with affirmative duties to perform.

For lawyers, reflecting perhaps their parochial preferences, there has been a special fascination since then in the role played by the Supreme Court in that transformation -- the manner in which its decisions altered in `` the switch in time that saved nine '', President Roosevelt's ill-starred but in effect victorious `` Court-packing plan '', the imprimatur of judicial approval that was finally placed upon social legislation.

Labor relations have been transformed, income security has become a standardized feature of political platforms, and all the many facets of the American version of the welfare state have become part of the conventional wisdom.

Madison once remarked: `` My life has been so much a public one '', a comment which fits the careers of the other six.

Thus we are compelled to face the urbanization of the South -- an urbanization which, despite its dramatic and overwhelming effects upon the Southern culture, has been utterly ignored by the bulk of Southern writers.

But the South is, and has been for the past century, engaged in a wide-sweeping urbanization which, oddly enough, is not reflected in its literature.

An example of the changes which have crept over the Southern region may be seen in the Southern Negro's quest for a position in the white-dominated society, a problem that has been reflected in regional fiction especially since 1865.

In the meantime, while the South has been undergoing this phenomenal modernization that is so disappointing to the curious Yankee, Southern writers have certainly done little to reflect and promote their region's progress.

Faulkner culminates the Southern legend perhaps more masterfully than it has ever been, or could ever be, done.

The persistent horror of having a malformed child has, I believe, been reduced, not because we have gained any control over this misfortune, but precisely because we have learned that we have so little control over it.
