454-Pyrosequencing: A Molecular Battiscope for Freshwater Viral Ecology
, 2010 Viruses, the most abundant biological entities on the planet, are capable of infecting organisms from all three branches of life, although the majority infect bacteria where the greatest degree of cellular diversity lies.

Coexistence of virome-encoded health-associated genes and pathogenic genes in global habitats
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyViral remnants constitute approximately 8% of the human genome, reflecting extensive historical gene exchange between viruses and their hosts. Some viral genomes harbor genes acquired through horizontal gene transfer that are associated with potential ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Herpes simplex virus triggers and then disarms a host antiviral response
, 2001 Virus infection induces an antiviral response that is predominantly associated with the synthesis and secretion of soluble interferon. Here, we report that herpes simplex virus type 1 virions induce an interferon-independent antiviral state in human ...

Influenza A Virus Superinfection Potential Is Regulated by Viral Genomic Heterogeneity
mBio, 2018 Defining the specific factors that govern the evolution and transmission of influenza A virus (IAV) populations is of critical importance for designing more-effective prediction and control strategies. Superinfection, the sequential infection of a single

Identification of Viral Taxon-Specific Genes (VTSG): Application to [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2018 Virus taxonomy was initially determined by clinical experiments based on phenotype. However, with the development of sequence analysis methods, genotype-based classification was also applied.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

T4 genes in the marine ecosystem: studies of the T4-like cyanophages and their role in marine ecology [PDF]
, 2010 From genomic sequencing it has become apparent that the marine cyanomyoviruses capable of infecting strains of unicellular cyanobacteria assigned to the genera Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus are not only morphologically similar to T4, but are also ...
