26种疱疹病毒的完整基因组序列目前保存在公共数据库中，其中一些由一种以上的毒株代表。它们的总长度超过400万个碱基对。几个额外的基因组正在筹备中，许多部分序列信息也已公布。因此，研究人员对疱疹病毒的遗传内容以及它们之间的关系有了非常详细的了解。这篇关于疱疹病毒系统发育树的综述解释了目前已知的关于这一重要病毒家族的进化，从树枝开始，沿着树枝、树枝和树干，再到根。这本书自然把重点放在抓得牢靠的地方，但也会在树皮湿滑的地方冒险，并放眼尚未站稳脚跟的地区。(C)2002 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有权利。
The complete goenome sequences of 26 herpesvirus species, some represented by more than one strain, are currently deposited in the public databases. Their combined length totals over four million base pairs. Several additional genomes are in the pipeline, and a host of partial sequence information is also available. Consequently, researchers have a very detailed picture of the genetic content of herpesviruses and their relationships to each other. This review of the herpesvirus phylogenetic tree explains what is currently known about the evolution of this important virus family by proceeding from the twigs, along the branches, boughs and trunk and towards the root. The account focuses naturally on places where the grasp is secure, but also ventures where the bark is slippery and looks out on regions where footholds have not yet been established.
