Comparative Genomics of Amphibian-like Ranaviruses, Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses of Poikilotherms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Recent research on genome evolution of large DNA viruses has highlighted a number of incredibly dynamic processes that can facilitate rapid adaptation. The genomes of amphibian-like ranaviruses – double-stranded DNA viruses infecting amphibians, reptiles,

Consensus statement: Virus taxonomy in the age of metagenomics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The number and diversity of viral sequences that are identified in metagenomic data far exceeds that of experimentally characterized virus isolates. In a recent workshop, a panel of experts discussed the proposal that, with appropriate quality control ...

Searching for Megaviruses in Iceland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The proposed Megavirales order comprises members of the previously known nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs). Virus families in the Megavirales order include Poxviridae, Ascoviridae, and the recently explored families of megaviruses infecting ...

TRUC or the Need for a New Microbial Classification

open access: yesIntervirology, 2013
Microbes were defined in the 19th century by L. Pasteur. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes, which are divided into two worlds of microbes, were introduced by E. Chatton in 1925. R.

Targeted metagenomic recovery of four divergent viruses reveals shared and distinctive characteristics of giant viruses of marine eukaryotes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Giant viruses have remarkable genomic repertoires—blurring the line with cellular life—and act as top–down controls of eukaryotic plankton. However, to date only six cultured giant virus genomes are available from the pelagic ocean.

The End of a 60-year Riddle: Identification and Genomic Characterization of an Iridovirus, the Causative Agent of White Fat Cell Disease in Zooplankton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The planktonic freshwater crustacean of the genus Daphnia are a model system for biomedical research and, in particular, invertebrate-parasite interactions. Up until now, no virus has been characterized for this system. Here we report the discovery of an

Viral ecogenomics across the Porifera [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BackgroundViruses directly affect the most important biological processes in the ocean via their regulation of prokaryotic and eukaryotic populations. Marine sponges form stable symbiotic partnerships with a wide diversity of microorganisms and this high

Syntenies Between Cohosted Mitochondrial, Chloroplast, and Phycodnavirus Genomes: Functional Mimicry and/or Common Ancestry?

open access: yesDNA and Cell Biology, 2019
Recent analyses suggest bacterial and/or mitochondrion-like ancestry for giant viruses (Megavirales sensu latu): amoeban mitochondrial gene arrangements resemble those of their candidate homologs in megaviral genomes.

Study and characterization of Glycosyltransferases from Paramecium bursaria Chlorella virus – 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
openGiant Viruses are a class of uncommon cellular parasites discovered about 30 years ago1. They are defined as Nucleo Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) according to the notable viral particle dimensions (about 400nm) and the genome complexity.
