Virus Information Table

Viruses are extremely diverse in nature. Even their method of storing genetic information differs tremendously, from double-stranded DNA to negative sense RNA, as denoted in the Baltimore Classification System. Other features, such as entry and release details, or capsid structure may be important in classifying and understanding viruses.
