Update in small (microscopic actually):

This time it is an 'ancient, alien & giant' virus from permafrost, from 30.000 years ago in Siberia. DNA unknown for the most part. It is scary to imagine how they might slowly begin to open Pandora's box with this.

“When we find more and more of those giant viruses it seems to point to some kind of multiple origin of life other than only a single one because they are made of totally different genetic material in a way and so we really wonder where that is coming from. We don’t see any trace of common history” - Professor Jean-Michel Claverie, National Centre of Scientific Research
