The genetic network linking various types of Bamfordvirae viruses and selfish genetic elements, represented by labeled circles. Links between circles are color-coded by the gene whose sequence homology establishes the link.[1]

Bamfordvirae is a kingdom of viruses.[2] This kingdom is recognized for its use of double jelly roll major capsid proteins.[3] It was formerly known as the PRD1-adenovirus lineage.[4] The kingdom is named after Dennis H. Bamford who first promoted the evolutionary unity of all viruses encoding double jelly-roll major capsid proteins.[5][6][4]
