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

open access: yesmBio, 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 ...

The Transmissibility of the Human Skin Virome: Potential Forensic Implications

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
To robustly establish the forensic potential of the human skin virome, continuous research and investigation across diverse ethnic groups are necessary. This study evaluated the stability and transmissibility of the skin virome in Koreans. Our results show that the skin virome is stable over time and can be shared through contact with objects ...

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

open access: yes, 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.

Commensal Viruses Promote Intestinal Stem Cell Regeneration Following Radiation Damage by Inhibiting Hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch Signals

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
Ionizing radiation disrupts gut virome and bacteriome. Gut commensal viruses protect against intestinal damage and promote stem cell regeneration by inhibiting hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch signaling in stem cells. Fecal virome transplantation (FVT) from healthy donors can serve as a potential therapeutic intervention by enriching phages targeting

Quantitative Assessment of Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Virus and Host Interactions Predicted by Co-occurrence Analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are highly diverse and abundant in marine environments. However, the knowledge of their hosts is limited because only a few NCLDVs have been isolated so far.

Cedratvirus lausannensis - digging into Pithoviridae diversity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Amoeba-infecting viruses have raised scientists' interest due to their novel particle morphologies, their large genome size and their genomic content challenging previously established dogma.

Large, double‐stranded DNA viruses tend to suppress phytoplankton populations more effectively than small viruses of diverse genome type

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 745-753, September 2025.
Abstract Viruses infecting aquatic microbes vary immensely in size, but the ecological consequences of virus size are poorly understood. Here we used a unique suite of diverse phytoplankton strains and their viruses, all isolated from waters around Hawai'i, to assess whether virus size affects the suppression of host populations.

Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded (FFPE) samples help to investigate transcriptomic responses in wildlife disease

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Infectious diseases impact numerous organisms. Knowledge of host‐pathogen interactions and host responses to infection is crucial for conservation and management. Obtaining this knowledge quickly is made increasingly possible by a variety of genomic approaches, yet, for many species the bottleneck to understanding this, remains access to ...

Evolutionary Origins of Two-Barrel RNA Polymerases and Site-Specific Transcription Initiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Evolutionary-related multisubunit RNA polymerases (RNAPs) carry out RNA synthesis in all domains life. Although their catalytic cores and fundamental mechanisms of transcription elongation are conserved, the initiation stage of the transcription cycle ...
