The viruses of Sulfolobus found to date (see Zillig et al., 1999) have completely different structures and sequences than viruses which have been found until now (see Prangishvili et al., 2001 and Rice et al., 2001). Why they are so different is not clear. A major focus of my work is to determine what makes the viruses they way that they are, I use molecular biology to do this, but also collaborate with structural virologists and structural biologists who are trying to determine the structures of the viruses and their components. We are also interested in how similar and different viruses from different parts of the world are to each other. (Stedman et al., 2006).
Viruses of extremophiles are also of interest for nanotechnology, both as templates for nano-fabrication but also as self-assembling systems. Their resistance to extreme environoments and novel structures make these viruses particularly interesting for such research.
