Viral Hybrid Vectors for Somatic Integration - Are They the Better Solution? [PDF]
, 2009 The turbulent history of clinical trials in viral gene therapy has taught us important lessons about vector design and safety issues. Much effort was spent on analyzing genotoxicity after somatic integration of therapeutic DNA into the host genome. Based

Pervasive Chimerism in the Replication-Associated Proteins of Uncultured Single-Stranded DNA Viruses
Viruses, 2018 Numerous metagenomic studies have uncovered a remarkable diversity of circular replication-associated protein (Rep)-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA viruses, the majority of which are uncultured and unclassified. Unlike capsid proteins, the Reps show

Towards quantitative viromics for both double-stranded and single-stranded DNA viruses [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Background Viruses strongly influence microbial population dynamics and ecosystem functions. However, our ability to quantitatively evaluate those viral impacts is limited to the few cultivated viruses and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viral genomes ...

The DNA Methylation Landscape of Giant Viruses [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Abstract DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark that contributes to various regulations in all domains of life. Prokaryotes use it through Restriction-Modification (R-M) systems as a host-defense mechanism against viruses. The recently discovered giant viruses are widespread dsDNA viruses infecting eukaryotes
