Jumbo phages with a large genome size from 200 to 500 kbp were not previously assigned a great value, and characterized by complex structures coupled with large virions with a wide variety of hosts. The origin of most of the jumbo phages was not well understood; however, many other prominent features have been discovered recently. In the current review, we strive to unearth the most advanced characteristics of jumbo phages, particularly their significance and structural organization that holds immense value to the viral life cycle. The unique characteristics of jumbo phages are the basis of variations in different types of phages concerning their organization at the genomic level, virion structure, evolution, and progeny propagation. The presence of tRNA and additional translation-related genes along ...
