Exposure to Mimivirus collagen promotes arthritis [PDF]

, 2014
Collagens, the most abundant proteins in animals, also occur in some recently described nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses such as Mimiviridae, which replicate in amoebae.

Phaeocystis globosa Virus DNA Polymerase X: a “Swiss Army knife”, Multifunctional DNA polymerase-lyase-ligase for Base Excision Repair [PDF]

, 2011
Phaeocystis globosa virus 16T is a giant virus that belongs to the so-called nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) group. Its linear dsDNA genome contains an almost full complement of genes required to participate in viral base excision repair (BER).

Metavirome and its functional diversity analysis through microbiome study of the Sikkim Himalayan hot spring solfataric mud sediments

Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2020
Viruses are the most prodigious repertory of the genetic material on the earth. They are elusive, breakneck, evolutionary life particles that constitute a riveting concealed world.

More to Phaeovirus infections than first meets the eye [PDF]

, 2015
Phaeoviruses infect the brown algae, Phaeophyceae. They exploit a Persistent evolutionary strategy via genome integration and are the only known representatives to do so amongst the giant viruses, Megaviridae.

BPGA- an ultra-fast pan-genome analysis pipeline [PDF]

, 2016
Recent advances in ultra-high-throughput sequencing technology and metagenomics have led to a paradigm shift in microbial genomics from few genome comparisons to large-scale pan-genome studies at different scales of phylogenetic resolution.

Virus Genomes from Deep Sea Sediments Expand the Ocean Megavirome and Support Independent Origins of Viral Gigantism

mBio, 2019
The nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) of eukaryotes (proposed order, “Megavirales”) include the families Poxviridae, Asfarviridae, Iridoviridae, Ascoviridae, Phycodnaviridae, Marseilleviridae, and Mimiviridae, as well as still unclassified ...

Lateral gene exchanges shape the genomes of amoeba-resisting microorganisms. [PDF]

, 2012
Based on Darwin's concept of the tree of life, vertical inheritance was thought to be dominant, and mutations, deletions, and duplication were streaming the genomes of living organisms.

First Isolation of a Giant Virus from Wild Hirudo medicinalis Leech: Mimiviridae isolation in Hirudo medicinalis

Viruses, 2013
Giant viruses and amoebae are common in freshwater, where they can coexist with other living multicellular organisms. We screened leeches from the species Hirudo medicinalis for giant viruses. We analyzed five H. medicinalis obtained from Tunisia (3) and

Oyster RNA-seq data support the development of Malacoherpesviridae genomics [PDF]

, 2017
The family of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) Malacoherpesviridae includes viruses able to infect marine mollusks and detrimental for worldwide aquaculture production. Due to fast-occurring mortality and a lack of permissive cell lines, the available data on

Exploring nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses in Tara Oceans microbial metagenomes [PDF]

, 2013
Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) constitute a group of eukaryotic viruses that can have crucial ecological roles in the sea by accelerating the turnover of their unicellular hosts or by causing diseases in animals. To better characterize the
