Introduction
Sulfolobus islandicus rod-shaped virus 2 (SIRV2) is a lytic double-stranded DNA archaeal virus that infects Sulfolobus archaea [1] [2]. SIRV2 falls into the greater taxonomy of the Rudiviridae family. Microbiologists have taken interest in SIRV2 due to its thermophilic and acidophilic properties needed to infect Sulfolobus. SIRV2 displays unique properties from many other viruses [1]. These include a unique viral release mechanism of which there are very few similar structures found in the natural world. Furthermore, SIRV2 is a lytic virus that acts by severely degrading host chromosomes. Additionally, SIRV2 is commonly at the forefront of the generally limited field of archaeal viral research [3][4].
