Yingvirus

Yingvirus is a genus of viruses. It is the only genus in the family Qinviridae, which is the only family in Muvirales, which is the only order in Chunqiuviricetes.[1]

The name Yingvirus derives from 嬴 (yíng), the ancestral name of Duke Mù of Qín during the Spring and Autumn period, along with -virus the suffix for a virus genus.[2] Qinviridae gets its name from 秦 (Qín), meaning Qín State, added to -viridae the suffix for a virus family.[2] Muvirales is from 穆 (Mù), again for Duke Mù of Qín, along with -virales the suffix for a virus order.[2] Chunqiuviricetes is from 春秋时代 (Chūnqiū Shídài), or Spring and Autumn period, attached to -viricetes the suffix for a virus class.[2]

Genome

Little is known about the structure of Yingvirus species and their genome. Genome lengths according to NCBI are:[3]

  • Beihai yingvirus: Beihai sesarmid crab virus 4 (7380 nt)
  • Hubei yingvirus: Hubei qinvirus-like virus 1 (7366 nt)
  • Sanxia yingvirus: Sanxia Qinvirus-like virus 1 (8238 nt)
  • Wenzhou yingvirus: Wenzhou qinvirus-like virus 2 (8052 nt)
gollark: Language models can actually do programming! Have you seen Codex?
gollark: The room is (depending on formulation) either a weirdly structured computer running a program which obviously does understand Chinese, or a similar program expressed as a lookup table.
gollark: I don't really agree with Chinese room arguments.
gollark: Photonic ML hardware is apparently beginning to exist and is very efficient, so that could help in a few years.
gollark: There is apparently work on accursed optics things for the displays, and batteries... are harder, but maybe minimising power use with more efficient hardware can be done.
