Giant viruses were found in Yellowstone's geothermal springs, which scientists claim could reveal the conditions under which life formed on Earth.
The are labeled as 'giant' because they have extremely large genomes compared to regular viruses and pose no risk to humans but could explain what the conditions on Earth were like when single-cell organisms formed.
Researchers at Rutgers University found that the viruses consisted of bacteria while others belonged to - a single-cell organism similar to bacteria - which requires extreme environments to reproduce and eukaryote, which is found in fungi.
