Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses are a group of viruses that infect many eukaryotic hosts. Here, the authors provide a 3.5 Å resolution icosahedrally-averaged capsid structure of Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus 1 and show how 1800 minor capsid proteins form a hexagonal network below the outer capsid shell.
