Abstract

Fifty years ago, David Baltimore published a brief conceptual paper delineating the classification of viruses by the routes of genome expression. The six “Baltimore classes” of viruses, with a subsequently added 7th class, became the conceptual framework for the development of virology during the next five decades.
