<p><b>Baltimore classification</b> is a system used to <a href="Virus_classification" title="Virus classification">classify</a> <a href="Virus" title="Virus">viruses</a> by their routes of transferring <a href="Genetic_information" class="mw-redirect" title="Genetic information">genetic information</a> from the <a href="Genome" title="Genome">genome</a> to <a href="Messenger_RNA" title="Messenger RNA">messenger RNA</a> (mRNA). Seven Baltimore groups, or classes, exist and are numbered in <a href="Roman_numerals" title="Roman numerals">Roman numerals</a> from I to VII. Groups are defined by whether the viral genome is made of <a href="Deoxyribonucleic_acid" class="mw-redirect" title="Deoxyribonucleic acid">deoxyribonucleic acid</a> (DNA) or <a href="Ribonucleic_acid" class="mw-redirect" title="Ribonucleic acid">ribonucleic acid</a> (RNA), whether the genome is single- or double-stranded, whether a single-stranded RNA genome is <a href="Sense_(molecular_biology)" title="Sense (molecular biology)">positive-sense or negative-sense</a>, and whether the virus makes DNA from RNA (<a href="Reverse_transcription" class="mw-redirect" title="Reverse transcription">reverse transcription</a> (RT)). Viruses within Baltimore groups typically have the same replication method, but other characteristics such as <a href="Virion" title="Virion">virion</a> structure are not directly related to Baltimore classification.

</p><p>The seven Baltimore groups are for double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses, positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) viruses, negative-sense single-stranded RNA (-ssRNA) viruses, ssRNA viruses that have a DNA intermediate in their life cycle (ssRNA-RT), and dsDNA viruses that have an RNA intermediate in their life cycle (dsDNA-RT). Only one class exists for ssDNA viruses because their genomes are converted to dsDNA before <a href="Transcription_(biology)" title="Transcription (biology)">transcription</a> regardless of sense. Some viruses belong to more than one Baltimore group, such as DNA viruses that have either dsDNA or ssDNA as their genome.

</p><p>Many virus characteristics do not define which Baltimore group they belong to but do correlate to specific Baltimore groups. This includes the use of <a href="RNA_editing" title="RNA editing">RNA editing</a> and <a href="Alternative_splicing" title="Alternative splicing">alternative splicing</a>, whether the virus's genome is segmented, the size and structure of the virus's genome, the <a href="Host_range" class="mw-redirect" title="Host range">host range</a> of viruses, whether the virus packages replication and transcription machinery into <a href="Virion" title="Virion">virions</a>, and unorthodox methods of <a href="Translation_(biology)" title="Translation (biology)">translating</a> mRNA into proteins. Furthermore, while Baltimore groups were not established based on evolutionary relationships, research in the 21st century has found that certain groups, such as dsRNA, +ssRNA, and many -ssRNA viruses, share <a href="Common_ancestry" class="mw-redirect" title="Common ancestry">common ancestry</a>.

</p><p>Baltimore classification was created in 1971 by virologist <a href="David_Baltimore" title="David Baltimore">David Baltimore</a> and initially only included the first six groups. It was later expanded to include group VII after the discovery of dsDNA-RT viruses. Since then, it has become common among virologist to use Baltimore classification alongside virus taxonomy due to its utility. In 2018 and 2019, Baltimore classification was partially integrated into virus taxonomy based on evidence that certain groups were descended from common ancestors. Various taxa now correspond to specific Baltimore groups. An extension of Baltimore classification has been proposed by virologist <a href="Vadim_Agol" class="mw-redirect" title="Vadim Agol">Vadim Agol</a> to accommodate all possible routes of genetic information transmission.

<p>Baltimore classification groups viruses together by their routes of transferring genetic information from the genome to messenger RNA (mRNA). Characteristics that determine the Baltimore group of a virus include whether the genome is made of <a href="Deoxyribonucleic_acid" class="mw-redirect" title="Deoxyribonucleic acid">deoxyribonucleic acid</a> (DNA) or <a href="Ribonucleic_acid" class="mw-redirect" title="Ribonucleic acid">ribonucleic acid</a> (RNA), the strandedness of the genome, which can be either single- or double-stranded, the <a href="Sense_(molecular_biology)" title="Sense (molecular biology)">sense</a> of a single-stranded RNA genome, which can be either positive (+) or negative (-), and whether the virus synthesizes DNA from RNA (<a href="Reverse_transcription" class="mw-redirect" title="Reverse transcription">reverse transcription</a> (RT)). There are seven Baltimore groups or classes, numbered with <a href="Roman_numerals" title="Roman numerals">Roman numerals</a>, listed hereafter.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELostroh202411–13_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELostroh202411–13-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-koonin2021_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2021-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Baltimore classification is chiefly based on the path toward <a href="Transcription_(biology)" title="Transcription (biology)">transcription</a> of the viral genome, and viruses within each group usually share the manners by which the mRNA synthesis occurs.

<p>The first Baltimore group contains viruses that have a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome. All dsDNA viruses have their mRNA synthesized in a three-step process. First, a <a href="Transcription_preinitiation_complex" title="Transcription preinitiation complex">transcription preinitiation complex</a> binds to the DNA upstream of the site where transcription begins, which allows for the recruitment of a <a href="Host_(biology)" title="Host (biology)">host</a> <a href="RNA_polymerase" title="RNA polymerase">RNA polymerase</a>.

</p><p>dsDNA viruses make use of several mechanisms to replicate their genome. A widely used method is bidirectional replication, in which two <a href="Replication_fork" class="mw-redirect" title="Replication fork">replication forks</a> are established at a <a href="Origin_of_replication" title="Origin of replication">replication origin site</a> and move in opposite directions.<sup id="cite_ref-bidi_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bidi-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A <a href="Rolling_circle_replication" title="Rolling circle replication">rolling circle mechanism</a> that produces linear strands while progressing in a loop around a circular genome is also common.<sup id="cite_ref-dsdnarcr_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dsdnarcr-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many dsDNA viruses use a strand displacement method whereby one strand is synthesized from a template strand, and a complementary strand is then synthesized from the previously synthesized strand to form a dsDNA genome.<sup id="cite_ref-displace_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-displace-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Lastly, some dsDNA viruses are replicated as part of a process called <a href="Replicative_transposition" title="Replicative transposition">replicative transposition</a>, whereby a viral genome that is <a href="Integrase" title="Integrase">integrated</a> into a host cell's genome is replicated to another part of the host cell's genome.<sup id="cite_ref-reptrans_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-reptrans-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The second Baltimore group contains viruses that have a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome. ssDNA viruses have the same manner of transcription as dsDNA viruses. Because the genome is single-stranded, however, it is first made into a double-stranded form by a <a href="DNA_polymerase" title="DNA polymerase">DNA polymerase</a> enzyme upon entering a host cell. mRNA is then synthesized from the double-stranded form. The double-stranded form of ssDNA viruses may be produced either directly after entry into a cell or as a consequence of replication of the viral genome.<sup id="cite_ref-ssdna_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ssdna-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-hairpin_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-hairpin-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Eukaryotic ssDNA viruses replicate in the nucleus.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTECann2015123_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECann2015123-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Most ssDNA viruses contain circular genomes that are replicated via <a href="Rolling_circle_replication" title="Rolling circle replication">rolling circle replication</a> (RCR). ssDNA RCR is initiated by an <a href="Endonuclease" title="Endonuclease">endonuclease</a> enzyme that bonds to and cleaves the positive-sense strand, which allows a DNA polymerase to use the negative-sense strand as a template for replication. Replication progresses in a loop around the genome by extending the 3′-end ("three prime end") of the positive-sense strand, which displaces the prior positive-sense strand. The endonuclease then cleaves the positive-sense strand again to create a standalone genome that is <a href="Ligation_(molecular_biology)" title="Ligation (molecular biology)">ligated</a> into a circular loop. The new ssDNA genome may be packaged into virions or replicated by a DNA polymerase to create a double-stranded form for transcription or additional rounds of replication.<sup id="cite_ref-ssdna_26-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ssdna-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201861–62_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201861–62-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

Their genomes have <a href="Stem-loop" title="Stem-loop">hairpin loops</a> at each end of the genome that repeatedly unfold and refold during replication to change the direction of DNA synthesis to move back and forth along the linear genome, which produces numerous copies of the genome in a continuous process.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Group_III:_double-stranded_RNA_viruses">Group III: double-stranded RNA viruses</h3></div>

<p>The third Baltimore group contains viruses that have a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) genome. After entering a host cell, the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) synthesizes a positive-sense strand from the negative-sense strand of the dsRNA genome. This positive-sense strand may be used either as mRNA for translation or as a template for replication to form the dsRNA genome.<sup id="cite_ref-dsrna_35-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dsrna-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201865_36-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201865-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Group_IV:_positive-sense_single-stranded_RNA_viruses">Group IV: positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses</h3></div>

<p>The fourth Baltimore group contains viruses that have a positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) genome. For +ssRNA viruses, the genome functions as mRNA, so no transcription is required for translation. +ssRNA viruses will, however, produce positive-sense copies of the genome from negative-sense strands of an intermediate dsRNA genome. This acts as both a transcription and replication process since the replicated +ssRNA is also mRNA.<sup id="cite_ref-pssrna_40-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pssrna-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201864–65_41-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201864–65-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFermin201843–44_42-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFermin201843–44-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Many +ssRNA viruses are able to have only a portion of their genome transcribed. Typically, subgenomic RNA (sgRNA) strands are used for translation of structural and movement proteins needed during intermediate and late stages of infection. sgRNA transcription may occur by commencing RNA synthesis within the genome rather than from the 5′-end ("five prime end"), by stopping RNA synthesis at specific sequences in the genome, or, as a part of both aforementioned methods, by synthesizing <a href="Five_prime_untranslated_region" title="Five prime untranslated region">leader sequences</a> from viral RNA that are then attached to sgRNA strands. During infection, the viral RdRp is always translated directly from the genome first because replication, performed by the RdRp, is required for sgRNA synthesis.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201864–65_41-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201864–65-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-sgrna_43-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sgrna-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Because the process of replicating the viral genome produces intermediate dsRNA molecules, +ssRNA viruses can be targeted by the host cell's immune system. To avoid detection, +ssRNA viruses replicate in membrane-associated vesicles that are used as replication factories. From there, only +ssRNA strands enter the main cytoplasmic area of the cell. These strands may be used as mRNA or as progeny genomes.<sup id="cite_ref-pssrna_40-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pssrna-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201864_44-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201864-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The fifth Baltimore group contains viruses that have a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA (-ssRNA) genome. At least two lineages of -ssRNA viruses exist, which transcribe and replicate their genomes differently. The first are viruses of the phylum <i><a href="Negarnaviricota" class="mw-redirect" title="Negarnaviricota">Negarnaviricota</a></i> in the kingdom <i>Orthornavirae</i> in the realm <i>Riboviria</i>. Negarnaviricots transcribe mRNA, which is positive sense, directly from the negative-sense genome. The first process for -ssRNA transcription involves the viral RdRp binding to a leader sequence on the 3′-end of the genome, transcribing a 5′ triphosphate-leader RNA sequence, then stopping and restarting on a transcription signal which is <a href="Five-prime_cap" title="Five-prime cap">capped</a>, continuing until a stop signal is reached. There, the RdRp synthesizes a <a href="Polyadenylation" title="Polyadenylation">polyadenylated tail</a> and releases the mRNA or, for polycistronic genomes, continues transcription.<sup id="cite_ref-nssrna_48-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nssrna-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The second manner is similar but instead of synthesizing a cap, the RdRp may use its endonuclease activity to <a href="Cap_snatching" title="Cap snatching">snatch a short sequence</a> of nucleotides of host cell mRNA and use it as the 5′ cap of viral mRNA.<sup id="cite_ref-cap_49-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cap-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Genomic -ssRNA is replicated from the positive-sense antigenome in a similar manner as transcription, except in reverse using the antigenome as a template for the genome. The RdRp complex moves from the 3′-end to the 5′-end of the antigenome and ignores all transcription signals when synthesizing genomic -ssRNA.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201865_36-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201865-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ssrnarep_50-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ssrnarep-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Various -ssRNA viruses use special mechanisms for transcription. The manner of polyadenylating the end of an mRNA sequence may be by <a href="Polymerase_stuttering" title="Polymerase stuttering">polymerase stuttering</a>, during which the RdRp transcribes an <a href="Adenine" title="Adenine">adenine</a> from <a href="Uracil" title="Uracil">uracil</a> and then moves back in the RNA sequence to transcribe it again, continuing this process until hundreds of adenines have been added to the 3′-end of the mRNA.<sup id="cite_ref-stutter_51-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-stutter-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Additionally, some -ssRNA viruses are ambisense, as both the positive- and negative-sense strands separately encode viral proteins. These viruses produce one mRNA strand from the genome and one from a complementary strand.<sup id="cite_ref-ambi_52-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ambi-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTECann2015154–156_53-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECann2015154–156-53"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>-ssRNA viruses in <i>Negarnaviricota</i> can be subdivided informally between those that have non-segmented and segmented genomes. Non-segmented -ssRNA viruses replicate in the cytoplasm, and segmented -ssRNA viruses replicate in the nucleus. For segmented viruses, the RdRp transcribes one monocistronic mRNA strand from each segment of the genome.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTECann2015124_54-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECann2015124-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201865_36-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201865-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFermin201845–46_55-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFermin201845–46-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This informal subdivision is closely followed within <i>Negarnaviricota</i>, as viruses in the subphylum <i><a href="Haploviricotina" title="Haploviricotina">Haploviricotina</a></i> usually have non-segmented genomes, and viruses in the subphylum <i><a href="Polyploviricotina" title="Polyploviricotina">Polyploviricotina</a></i> all have segmented genomes.<sup id="cite_ref-luo_56-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-luo-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Moreover, -ssRNA viruses that synthesize a cap structure on viral mRNA are assigned to <i>Haploviricotina</i>, whereas -ssRNA viruses that snatch caps from host mRNA belong to <i>Polyploviricotina</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-kuhn_57-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kuhn-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

Ribozyvirians have covalently-closed circular -ssRNA genomes that are encased in nucleocapsid proteins to form a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. After entering a cell, the RNP complex migrates from the cytosol to the nucleus, where the genome is replicated via RCR by a host <a href="RNA_polymerase_II" title="RNA polymerase II">RNA polymerase II</a> enzyme. This process creates a long molecule with many copies of the genome, called a concatemer, that has a series of positive-sense genomic strands. <a href="Ribozyme" title="Ribozyme">Ribozymes</a> encoded in this antigenome catalyze cleavage of the concatemer to form individual strands that are either translated or ligated for replication through RCR to produce concatemers of -ssRNA antigenomic strands.

<p><a href="RNA_editing" title="RNA editing">RNA editing</a> is used by various ssRNA viruses to produce different proteins from a single gene. This can be done via polymerase slippage during transcription or by post-transcriptional editing. In polymerase slippage, the RNA polymerase slips one nucleotide back during transcription, which has the effect of adding a nucleotide not included in the template strand. Editing of a genomic template would impair gene expression, so RNA editing is only done during and after transcription.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201871_80-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201871-80"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>78<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-rnaedit_81-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-rnaedit-81"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>79<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For <a href="Ebolavirus" title="Ebolavirus">ebola viruses</a>, RNA editing is used to express three different proteins from a single gene, which increases their ability to adapt to their hosts.<sup id="cite_ref-orthoebola_79-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-orthoebola-79"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>77<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201871_80-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201871-80"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>78<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-rnaedit_81-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-rnaedit-81"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>79<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p><a href="Alternative_splicing" title="Alternative splicing">Alternative splicing</a> is a mechanism by which different proteins can be produced from a single gene by using alternative splicing sites to produce different mRNA strands. It is found in various DNA, -ssRNA, and reverse transcribing viruses. Viruses may make use of alternative splicing solely to produce multiple proteins from a single pre-mRNA strand or for other specific purposes. For some viruses, such as papillomaviruses, alternative splicing acts as a way to regulate early and late <a href="Gene_expression" title="Gene expression">gene expression</a> during different stages of infection. <a href="Herpesvirus" class="mw-redirect" title="Herpesvirus">Herpesviruses</a> use it as a potential anti-host defense mechanism to prevent synthesis of specific antiviral proteins.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201871–72_82-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERampersadTennant201871–72-82"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>80<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-altsplice_83-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-altsplice-83"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>81<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Different Baltimore groups tend to be found within different branches of cellular life.

Lastly, dsDNA-RT viruses infect animals and plants but not prokaryotes. Whether dsDNA-RT viruses infect protists is unknown.<sup id="cite_ref-koonin2021_2-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2021-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>By host, a large majority of prokaryotic viruses are dsDNA viruses, but a significant minority are ssDNA and +ssRNA viruses. There are a relatively small number of prokaryotic dsRNA viruses and no prokaryotic -ssRNA or RT viruses. Eukaryotic viruses, in contrast, are predominately RNA viruses, though eukaryotic DNA viruses are common. Well-characterized eukaryotic <a href="Virome" title="Virome">viromes</a> contain mostly +ssRNA viruses and, in some lineages such as fungi, dsRNA viruses. ssRNA-RT viruses are also common in eukaryotes, especially in animals.<sup id="cite_ref-koonin2021_2-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2021-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-koonin2015_84-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2015-84"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>82<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFermin201835–46_93-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFermin201835–46-93"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>91<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-wolf_94-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wolf-94"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>92<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

The dominance of DNA viruses in prokaryotes may be because they outcompete RNA viruses. In eukaryotic cells, however, the nucleus is a barrier that requires adaptation by DNA viruses. They either have to evolve means to enter the nucleus to replicate or obtain their own replication and transcription machinery to replicate in virus factories in the cytosol. Furthermore, the <a href="Endomembrane" class="mw-redirect" title="Endomembrane">endomembranes</a> of eukaryotic cells appear to be a beneficial environment for RNA virus replication.<sup id="cite_ref-koonin2021_2-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2021-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

Lastly, there are dsDNA virus families unassigned to higher taxa that are unique from existing realms and which likely constitute small realms.<sup id="cite_ref-koonin2021_2-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2021-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-vzsingela_21-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-vzsingela-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Of the replication-expression systems used by viruses, only Baltimore group I (dsDNA) is typically used by cells. The other groups may be remnants of the primordial stage of life before the emergence of modern-like cells, during which the dsDNA system used by extant cells had not yet become uniform. The ancestors of RNA viruses in particular may have emerged during the time of the <a href="RNA_world" title="RNA world">RNA world</a>. And while virus realms are generally unrelated, the replicative proteins encoded by viruses in the four major realms (<i>Duplodnaviria</i>, <i>Monodnaviria</i>, <i>Riboviria</i>, and <i>Varidnaviria</i>) are built on the core <a href="RNA_recognition_motif" title="RNA recognition motif">RNA recognition motif</a>, one of the most common nucleic acid-binding <a href="Protein_domain" title="Protein domain">domains</a> in nature. Therefore, the replication-expression cycles most likely diversified before the separation of large dsDNA replicators, which became the ancestors of cellular life, from other types of replicators, which became <a href="Selfish_genetic_element" title="Selfish genetic element">selfish genetic elements</a> and gave rise to viruses. Throughout the history of cellular evolution, viruses have likely emerged at different stages of time, the first true viruses likely predating the <a href="Last_universal_common_ancestor" title="Last universal common ancestor">last universal common ancestor</a> of cellular life.<sup id="cite_ref-koonin2021_2-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2021-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>Baltimore classification was proposed in 1971 by virologist <a href="David_Baltimore" title="David Baltimore">David Baltimore</a> in a paper titled "Expression of Animal Virus Genomes" that was published in the journal <i>Bacteriology Reviews</i> (now named <i><a href="Microbiology_and_Molecular_Biology_Reviews" title="Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews">Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews</a></i>). Baltimore focused on classifying <a href="Animal_virus" title="Animal virus">animal viruses</a> but effectively classified all viruses by their routes of information transmission from genomic nucleic acid to mRNA.<sup id="cite_ref-koonin2021_2-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2021-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-liao2022_110-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-liao2022-110"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>108<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The system initially contained the first six groups but later was expanded to include group VII after the discovery of dsDNA-RT viruses.<sup id="cite_ref-koonin2021_2-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2021-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFermin201845_111-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFermin201845-111"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>109<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-exec_112-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-exec-112"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>110<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Because of the utility of Baltimore classification, it came to be used alongside standard virus taxonomy, which is based on evolutionary relationships and governed by the <a href="International_Committee_on_Taxonomy_of_Viruses" title="International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses">International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses</a> (ICTV).<sup id="cite_ref-exec_112-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-exec-112"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>110<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Over time, the belief that Baltimore groups were monophyletic spread among virologists. This was reflected in taxonomies published by the ICTV and the <a href="National_Center_for_Biotechnology_Information" title="National Center for Biotechnology Information">National Center for Biotechnology Information</a>, which for decades placed the Baltimore groups as informal higher ranks above official taxonomic ranks.<sup id="cite_ref-koonin2021_2-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2021-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> From 1991 to 2017, virus taxonomy used a 5-rank system ranging from order to species with Baltimore classification used in conjunction. Outside of official taxonomy, various supergroups of viruses joining different taxa were created over time based on increasing evidence of deeper evolutionary relations.<sup id="cite_ref-exec_112-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-exec-112"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>110<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The advancement of sequencing methods in the 21st century in particular made it possible to study virus evolution and diversity in greater detail.

</p><p>In 1974, virologist <a href="Vadim_Agol" class="mw-redirect" title="Vadim Agol">Vadim Agol</a> proposed an extension of Baltimore classification to accommodate all possible means of genetic information transmission and describe the hierarchal routes of information transmission, including both expression and replication, rather than solely mRNA synthesis. The system was revisited in 2021 by <a href="Eugene_Koonin" title="Eugene Koonin">Koonin</a> et al. in light of discoveries made since the 1970s. In the expanded system, there are 25 classes, 17 superclasses, and six types of genetic information transfer. Viruses occupy 13 classes, one of which is shared with cells, seven superclasses, and three types. A fourteenth class is occupied by <a href="F-plasmid" title="F-plasmid">F-like plasmids</a>. Ambisense viruses occupy two classes simultaneously, though separate classes could be made for them. Most unoccupied classes are of DNA-RNA hybrids, which appear to be disfavored by evolution since it may be advantageous to convert such molecules to dsDNA, the molecule most suitable for genome replication. According Koonin et al., viruses that belong to the unoccupied classes are unlikely to be discovered unless they are rare in nature.<sup id="cite_ref-koonin2021_2-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-koonin2021-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
