Unveiling the Virome of Wild Birds: Exploring CRESS-DNA Viral Dark Matter. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol
Abstract Amid global health concerns and the constant threat of zoonotic diseases, this study delves into the diversity of circular replicase-encoding single-stranded DNA (CRESS-DNA) viruses within Chinese wild bird populations. Employing viral metagenomics to tackle the challenge of “viral dark matter,” the research collected and ...

Computational studies on rep and capsid proteins of CRESS DNA viruses. [PDF]

Virusdisease
The circular rep-encoding single-stranded DNA viruses (CRESS DNA viruses) are among the smallest, with 2-6 kb ssDNA genomes that encode for a coat protein (C) and a replication protein (R). To comprehend the complexity and divergence of the C and R proteins, we have created predictive structural models of representative viruses infecting unique hosts ...

Structural diversity and conservation among CRESS-DNA bacilladnaviruses revealed through cryo-EM and computational modelling. [PDF]

Virol J
Abstract Viruses that infect single-celled algae strongly regulate microalgae growth and community composition through cell lysis, enable nutrient recycling in marine ecosystems, and offer valuable insights into early stages of viral evolution. One major group, the Bacilladnaviridae

Identification and genomic characterization of a novel CRESS DNA virus from a calf with severe hemorrhagic enteritis in China. [PDF]

Virus Res, 2018
In this study, a novel circular replication-associated protein (Rep)-encoding single stranded (CRESS) DNA virus was discovered in diarrheic sample of a calf with severe hemorrhagic enteritis. The virus, named Bo-Circo-like virus CH, has a circular genome with 3909 nucleotides (nt). Six putative open reading frames (ORFs) were identified, including Rep,

Virus discovery in all three major lineages of terrestrial arthropods highlights the diversity of single-stranded DNA viruses associated with invertebrates [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Viruses encoding a replication-associated protein (Rep) within a covalently closed, single-stranded (ss)DNA genome are among the smallest viruses known to infect eukaryotic organisms, including economically valuable agricultural crops and livestock ...

A Research Project for Secondary Schools on Urban Plant Ecological Genetics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This paper offers a ready‐to‐use school plant ecological genetics project outline based on a fieldwork citizen science research idea. We show how to collect phenotypic and genetic data of wild Arabidopsis thaliana plants growing in an urban environment.

Strand-Specific Patterns of Codon Usage Bias Across Cressdnaviricota

Frontiers in Virology, 2022
The rapidly expanding phylum Cressdnaviricota contains circular, Rep-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA viruses that are organized within seven established families, but many CRESS DNA virus sequences are not taxonomically defined. We hypothesized that
