Pandoravirus is a proposed genus of giant virus, first discovered in 2013.[5] It is the third largest in physical size of any known viral genus, behind Pithovirus and Megaklothovirus.[6] Pandoraviruses have double stranded DNA genomes, with the largest genome size (2.5 million base pairs) of any known viral genus.[7]
