Phaeocystis globosa Virus DNA Polymerase X: a “Swiss Army knife”, Multifunctional DNA polymerase-lyase-ligase for Base Excision Repair [PDF]
, 2011 Phaeocystis globosa virus 16T is a giant virus that belongs to the so-called nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) group. Its linear dsDNA genome contains an almost full complement of genes required to participate in viral base excision repair (BER).

The Virome of Cerebrospinal Fluid: Viruses Where We Once Thought There Were None. [PDF]
, 2019 Traditionally, medicine has held that some human body sites are sterile and that the introduction of microbes to these sites results in infections. This paradigm shifted significantly with the discovery of the human microbiome and acceptance of these ...

Degenerate PCR Primers to Reveal the Diversity of Giant Viruses in Coastal Waters
Viruses, 2018 “Megaviridae” is a proposed family of giant viruses infecting unicellular eukaryotes. These viruses are ubiquitous in the sea and have impact on marine microbial community structure and dynamics through their lytic infection cycle.

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

Tailed giant Tupanvirus possesses the most complete translational apparatus of the known virosphere
Nature Communications, 2018 Here we report the discovery of two Tupanvirus strains, the longest tailed Mimiviridae members isolated in amoebae. Their genomes are 1.44–1.51 Mb linear double-strand DNA coding for 1276–1425 predicted proteins.

Genome diversity of marine phages recovered from Mediterranean metagenomes: Size matters [PDF]
, 2017 Marine viruses play a critical role not only in the global geochemical cycles but also in the biology and evolution of their hosts. Despite their importance, viral diversity remains underexplored mostly due to sampling and cultivation challenges.
