A rapid genome-wide analysis of isolated giant viruses only using MinION sequencing
bioRxiv, 2023 Following the discovery of Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus, diverse giant viruses have been isolated. However, only a small fraction of these isolates has been completely sequenced, limiting our understanding of the genomic diversity of giant viruses ...

Molecular biology and evolution, 2023 The diverse GTPases of the dynamin superfamily play various roles in the cell, as exemplified by the dynamin-related proteins (DRPs) Mgm1 and Opa1, which remodel the mitochondrial inner membrane in fungi and metazoans, respectively.

From Mimivirus to Mirusvirus: The Quest for Hidden Giants
Viruses, 2023 Our perception of viruses has been drastically evolving since the inception of the field of virology over a century ago. In particular, the discovery of giant viruses from the Nucleocytoviricota phylum marked a pivotal moment.

Virome comparisons in wild-diseased and healthy captive giant pandas
Microbiome, 2017 Background The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a vulnerable mammal herbivore living wild in central China. Viral infections have become a potential threat to the health of these endangered animals, but limited information related to these ...

Annual Review of Microbiology, 1999 ▪ Abstract Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus (PBCV-1) is the prototype of a family of large, icosahedral, plaque-forming, double-stranded–DNA-containing viruses that replicate in certain unicellular, eukaryotic chlorella-like green algae. DNA sequence analysis of its 330, 742-bp genome leads to the prediction that this phycodnavirus has 376 protein-

A novel evolutionary strategy revealed in the Phaeoviruses [PDF]
, 2014 Phaeoviruses infect the brown algae, which are major contributors to primary production of coastal waters and estuaries. They exploit a Persistent evolutionary strategy akin to a K- selected life strategy via genome integration and are the only known ...

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1992 Unusually large virus-hke particles (VLPs) with tails were found in water samples from Norwegian and Danish coastal waters. Size of the VLP heads were 340 to 400 nm and the tails were 2.2 to 2.8 vm long. The VLPs occurred at a maximum concentration of about 104 ml-'. The possible hosts are unknown.

The Astounding World of Glycans from Giant Viruses
Chemical Reviews, 2022 Viruses are a heterogeneous ensemble of entities, all sharing the need for a suitable host to replicate. They are extremely diverse, varying in morphology, size, nature, and complexity of their genomic content.

Hidden diversity of soil giant viruses [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Abstract Known giant virus diversity is currently skewed towards viruses isolated from aquatic environments and cultivated in the laboratory. Here, we employ cultivation-independent metagenomics and mini-metagenomics on soils from the Harvard Forest, leading to the discovery of 16 novel giant viruses, chiefly ...

Editorial: Large and Giant DNA Viruses [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Since the seminal studies involving bacteriophages, the DNA viruses have fascinated the scientific community. DNA viruses were essential not only for the understanding of viral biological process, but also were a fundamental tool for the discovery and expanding knowledge related to cellular processes, such as transcription, translation, DNA repair ...
