MG-Digger: an automated pipeline to search for giant virus-related sequences in metagenomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The number of metagenomic studies conducted each year is growing dramatically. Storage and analysis of such big data is difficult and time-consuming. Interestingly, analysis shows that environmental and human metagenomes include a significant amount of ...

Commensalism in the Mimiviridae giant virus family [PDF]
, 2019 Abstract Acanthamoeba-infecting Mimiviridae belong to three clades: Mimiviruses (A), Moumouviruses (B) and Megaviruses (C). The uniquely complex mobilome of these giant viruses includes virophages and linear 7 kb-DNA molecules called “transpovirons”.

Respiratory syncytial virus: a sleeping giant? [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2007 The study by Jansen et al. 1 in the present issue of the European Respiratory Journal focuses on the impact of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) on mortality and hospital admissions. As in many other similar publications, it emphasises the significance of RSV (and influenza) in all age groups and not just children, in whom the impact is ...

Giant Viruses: Conflicts in Revisiting the Virus Concept [PDF]
Intervirology, 2010 The current paradigm on the nature of viruses is based on early work of the ‘phage group’ (the pro-phage concept) and molecular biologists working on tumour viruses (the proto-oncogene concept). It posits that viruses evolved from either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cellular genes that became infectious via their association with capsid genes.

Hidden diversity of soil giant viruses
Nature Communications, 2018 Current knowledge of giant virus diversity is largely based on samples from aquatic environments. Here the authors employ cultivation-independent metagenomics and mini-metagenomics on forest soil and identify 16 novel giant virus genomes, some of which ...

Genomic analysis of the smallest giant virus — Feldmannia sp. virus 158
Virology, 2009 Genomic analysis of Feldmannia sp. virus 158, the second phaeovirus to be sequenced in its entirety, provides further evidence that large double-stranded DNA viruses share similar evolutionary pressures as cellular organisms. Reductive evolution is clearly evident within the phaeoviruses which occurred via several routes: the loss of genes from an ...
