eLife, 2018 Giant viruses are ecologically important players in aquatic ecosystems that have challenged concepts of what constitutes a virus. Herein, we present the giant Bodo saltans virus (BsV), the first characterized representative of the most abundant group of ...

iMeta, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2024.Our comparative analysis unveiled the distinct advantages of two methods in capturing the complexity of viral communities and their functions in wastewater treatment plants. The non‐concentrated (NC) metagenomic approach identified a higher number of viral contigs, though it had a lower yield of high‐quality contigs.

Dinucleotide biases in the genomes of prokaryotic and eukaryotic dsDNA viruses and their hosts
Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 6, March 2024.Abstract The genomes of cellular organisms display CpG and TpA dinucleotide composition biases. Such biases have been poorly investigated in dsDNA viruses. Here, we show that in dsDNA virus, bacterial, and eukaryotic genomes, the representation of TpA and CpG dinucleotides is strongly dependent on genomic G + C content.

Role of the R349 Gene and Its Repeats in the MIMIVIRE Defense System
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 MIMIVIRE is a defense system described in lineage A Mimivirus (Mimiviridae family) that mediates resistance against Zamilon virophage. It is composed of putative helicase and nuclease associated with a gene of unknown function called R349, which contains

Pathology of porcine peripheral white blood cells during infection with African swine fever virus [PDF]
, 2012 Background African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative agent of African swine fever (ASF) that is the significant disease of domestic pigs. Several studies showed that ASFV can influence on porcine blood cells in vitro.

Evolution of DNA ligases of Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses of eukaryotes: a case of hidden complexity [PDF]
, 2009 Background Eukaryotic Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV) encode most if not all of the enzymes involved in their DNA replication. It has been inferred that genes for these enzymes were already present in the last common ancestor of the NCLDV ...

Seasonal Dynamics of Algae-Infecting Viruses and Their Inferred Interactions with Protists
Viruses, 2019 Viruses are a highly abundant, dynamic, and diverse component of planktonic communities that have key roles in marine ecosystems. We aimed to reveal the diversity and dynamics of marine large dsDNA viruses infecting algae in the Northern Skagerrak, South

O-Linked glycosylation in Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus [PDF]
, 2017 Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus is a member of the giant nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, infecting various Acanthamoeba spp. The genomes of giant viruses encode components previously thought to be exclusive to cellular life, such as proteins ...
