Disorder in viral proteomes. (a) Distribution of mean disorder in sampled viral proteomes grouped by replicon type according to the Baltimore classification of viruses³⁵. (b) Distribution of sampled viral proteomes based on replicon type, host superkingdoms, and eukaryovirus hosts. Eukaryovirus hosts were classified into Protista (animal-like protists), Fungi, Plants (all plants, blue-green algae, and diatoms), Invertebrates and Plants (IP), and Metazoa (vertebrates, invertebrates, and humans). Host information was available for 5959 of the 6044 viruses sampled in this study. (c) Scatterplots between mean disorder and domain use and reuse (logarithmic scale) in sampled viral proteomes grouped by replicon type.
