Part of the Sumedicina project, this is a visualization of a viral DNA sequence. It’s a fictional virus that happens to share its name with an isolate of the Taura syndrome virus, also called 2KMX. TSV has a single-stranded RNA genome, and infects a number of species including the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, which is actually a closet prawn.
