Sequencing the genome allowed researchers to identify the gene for lysin, an enzyme that the virus uses to kill bacterial cells, that has potential use as an antibiotic or disinfecting agent.

Within months, researchers had identified the virus, sequenced its genome, and stemmed its spread.

Genetic sequencing identified the RNA genome as a member of the insect - infecting Cripavirus genus, but the DNA viral genome was more mysterious: It was unlike any sequenced present - day viruses, but distantly related to plant - infecting geminiviruses.

Analysis of the Nematostella vectensis (an Anthozoan) genome and the Hydra magnipapillata (a Medusozoan) EST library identified several herpes - like viral genes and mRNAs within the draft sequences supporting a hypothesis that herpes - like viruses are found in all Cnidarians and likely have co-evolved with the metazoans.

The team's first significant breakthrough was in fully sequencing the virus genome and identifying its structure.

While there are techniques to identify known viruses, such as high throughput sequencing or high density microarrays, identifying truly novel virions could pose a problem, the authors write.
