Abstract
Abstract Namao virus (NV) is a sturgeon nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virus (sNCLDV) that can cause a lethal disease of the integumentary system in lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens. As a group, the sNCLDV have not been assigned to any currently recognized taxonomic family of viruses. In this study, a dataset of NV DNA sequences was generated and assembled as two non-overlapping contigs of 306 and 448 base pairs (bp) and then used to conduct a comprehensive systematics analysis using Bayesian phylogenetic inference for NV, other sNCLDV, and representative members of six families of the NCLDV superfamily. The phylogeny of NV was reconstructed using protein homologues encoded by nine nucleocytoplasmic virus orthologous genes (NCVOGs): NCVOG0022—mcp, NCVOG0038—DNA polymerase B elongation subunit, NCVOG0076—VV A18-type helicase, NCVOG0249—VV A32-type ATPase, NCVOG0262—AL2 VLTF3-like transcription factor, NCVOG0271—RNA polymerase II subunit II, NCVOG0274—RNA polymerase II subunit I, NCVOG0276—ribonucleotide reductase small subunit, and NCVOG1117—mRNA capping enzyme. The accuracy of our phylogenetic method was evaluated using a combination of Bayesian statistical analysis and congruence analysis. Stable tree topologies were obtained with datasets differing in target molecule(s), sequence length, and taxa. Congruent topologies were obtained in phylogenies constructed using individual protein datasets and when four proteins were used in a concatenated approach. The major capsid protein phylogeny indicated that ten representative sNCLDV form a monophyletic group comprised of four lineages within a polyphyletic Mimi-Phycodnaviridae group of taxa. Overall, the analyses revealed that Namao virus is a member of the Mimiviridae family with strong and consistent support for a clade containing NV and CroV as sister taxa.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
