Bamfordvirae is a kingdom of
viruses.[2] This kingdom is recognized for its use of
double jelly roll major capsid proteins.[3] It was formerly known as the
PRD1-
adenovirus lineage.[4] The kingdom is named after
Dennis H. Bamford who first promoted the evolutionary unity of all viruses encoding double jelly-roll major capsid proteins.[5][6][4]
