The Poxviral RING Protein p28 Is a Ubiquitin Ligase That Targets Ubiquitin to Viral Replication Factories [PDF]
, 2005 We conducted an exhaustive search for three-dimensional structural homologs to the proteins of 20 key phylogenetically distinct nucleocytoplasmic DNA viruses (NCLDV). Structural matches covered 429 known protein domain superfamilies, with the most highly

Viral outbreak in corals associated with an in situ bleaching event: atypical herpes-like viruses and a new megavirus infecting Symbiodinium [PDF]
, 2016 Previous studies of coral viruses have employed either microscopy or metagenomics, but few have attempted to comprehensively link the presence of a virus-like particle (VLP) to a genomic sequence. We conducted transmission electron microscopy imaging and

Indentifying and modeling the distribution of cryptic reservoirs of Ebola virus using artificial intelligence [PDF]
, 2019 Fruit bats (Megachiroptera) have been found to be the principal reservoirs of Ebola virus (EBOV) to humans. However, bats do not appear to be the primary reservoir in the environment and between outbreaks.
