lack a \u201cgenetic bar code\u201d because they do not house their evolutionary information in DNA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout this bar code, trying to distinguish different species of virus in the wild

move any direction in water regardless of currents.<\/p>\n<p>Because of their mobility, plankton are critical to underwater ecosystems and food chains \u2013 they are also major carriers of RNA viruses.<\/p>\n<p>To identify viruses, the researchers flagged a specific enzyme known to make viruses replicate.<\/p>\n<p>The RNA viruses have very slight differences in the genetic coding of this enzyme \u2013 44,000 different genes that can contribute to the replication process were found.<\/p>\n<p>They sought to then isolate the genes of samples, and determine their connection.<\/p>\n<figure
