title: A unique group of virus-related, genome-integrating elements found solely in the bacterial family Thermaceae and the archaeal family Halobacteriaceae.
abstract: Viruses SH1 and P23-77, infecting archaeal Haloarcula species and bacterial Thermus species, respectively, were recently designated to form a novel viral lineage. In this study, the lineage is expanded to archaeal Halomicrobium and bacterial Meiothermus species by analysis of five genome-integrated elements that share the core genes with these viruses.
