Viral Diversity in Benthic Abyssal Ecosystems: Ecological and Methodological Considerations [PDF]
, 2023 Viruses are the most abundant 'biological entities' in the world's oceans. However, technical and methodological constraints limit our understanding of their diversity, particularly in benthic abyssal ecosystems (>4000 m depth).

Smaller Fleas: Viruses of Microorganisms
Scientifica, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Life forms can be roughly differentiated into those that are microscopic versus those that are not as well as those that are multicellular and those that, instead, are unicellular. Cellular organisms seem generally able to host viruses, and this propensity carries over to those that are both microscopic and less than truly multicellular.

The gut virome:the ‘missing link’ between gut bacteria and host immunity? [PDF]
, 2019 The human gut virome includes a diverse collection of viruses that infect our own cells as well as other commensal organisms, directly impacting on our well-being. Despite its predominance, the virome remains one of the least understood components of the

Microbes and environments, 2016 Members of the Marseilleviridae family are large DNA viruses with icosahedral particle structures that infect Acanthamoeba cells. The first Marseillevirus to be discovered was isolated in 2009. Since then, several other members of the Marseilleviridae family have been reported, including Lausannevirus, Senegalvirus, Cannes 8 virus, Insectomime virus ...

Amoebae, Giant Viruses, and Virophages Make Up a Complex, Multilayered Threesome
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Viral infection had not been observed for amoebae, until the Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) was discovered in 2003. APMV belongs to the nucleocytoplasmatic large DNA virus (NCLDV) family and infects not only A.

High‐throughput generic single‐entity sequencing using droplet microfluidics
iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2025.We present Generic Single Entity Sequencing (GSE‐Seq), a droplet‐based workflow that generates monoclonal barcodes by one‐step PCR, performs dissolvable hydrogel‐enabled reactions for genome processing, and attaches barcodes during in‐droplet library preparation. Barcoded fragments are pooled and sequenced with PacBio long‐read sequencing. Barcodes are
