Polydnaviruses
Virus particles that consist of multiple circles of dsDNA surrounded by capsid proteins and an envelope; they lack DNA coding for proteins needed for viral replication, but this DNA is provided by ovary cells of the wasps they inhabit.
dsDNA
Double-stranded DNA, which is the typical structure of DNA, consisting of two antiparallel strands that form a double helix.
ssDNA
Single-stranded DNA, which consists of a linear sequence of nucleotides without a complementary strand, often involved in replication and transcription processes.
