The Coccolithoviridae is a recently discovered family of giant algal viruses. Here, we review the genomic and transcriptomic characterization of this family based on the results generated from a coccolithovirus microarray. The microarray has been used to aid the annotation of the genome, to investigate the infection process at the transcriptional level and to assess the diversity in genomic content within the family.
