Bamfordvirae is a kingdom of viruses. [2] This kingdom is recognized for its use of double jelly roll major capsid proteins. [3] It was formerly known as the PRD1-adenovirus lineage. [4] The kingdom is named after Dennis H. Bamford who first promoted the evolutionary unity of all viruses encoding double jelly-roll major capsid proteins. [5] [6] [4]
