Unraveling the habitat preferences, ecological drivers, potential hosts, and auxiliary metabolism of soil giant viruses across China. [PDF]

Microbiome
Background Soil giant viruses are increasingly believed to have profound effects on ecological functioning by infecting diverse eukaryotes. However, their biogeography and ecology remain poorly understood.

A phylogenomic framework for charting the diversity and evolution of giant viruses

PLoS Biology, 2021
Large DNA viruses of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota have recently emerged as important members of ecosystems around the globe that challenge traditional views of viral complexity.

A distinct lineage of giant viruses brings a rhodopsin photosystem to unicellular marine predators. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Giant viruses are remarkable for their large genomes, often rivaling those of small bacteria, and for having genes thought exclusive to cellular life.

Evolutionary Dynamics of Giant Viruses and their Virophages [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2013
Giant viruses contain large genomes, encode many proteins atypical for viruses, replicate in large viral factories, and tend to infect protists. The giant virus replication factories can in turn be infected by so called virophages, which are smaller ...

Proton-transporting heliorhodopsins from marine giant viruses

eLife, 2022
Rhodopsins convert light into signals and energy in animals and microbes. Heliorhodopsins (HeRs), a recently discovered new rhodopsin family, are widely present in archaea, bacteria, unicellular eukaryotes, and giant viruses, but their function remains ...

Host Range and Coding Potential of Eukaryotic Giant Viruses

Viruses, 2020
Giant viruses are a group of eukaryotic double-stranded DNA viruses with large virion and genome size that challenged the traditional view of virus. Newly isolated strains and sequenced genomes in the last two decades have substantially advanced our ...
