Expanding the Mimiviridae family using asparagine synthase as a sequence bait
Virology, 2014 Since the pioneering Global Ocean Sampling project, large-scale sequencing of environmental DNA has become a common approach to assess the biodiversity of diverse environments, with an emphasis on microbial populations: unicellular eukaryotes ("protists"), bacteria, archaea, and their innumerous associated viruses and phages.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Rab GTPases are the key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking in eukaryotes. Many viruses and intracellular bacterial pathogens have evolved to hijack the host Rab GTPase functions, mainly through activators and effector proteins, for their ...

PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundA recent work has provided strong arguments in favor of a fourth domain of Life composed of nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs). This hypothesis was supported by phylogenetic and phyletic analyses based on a common set of proteins ...

Extension of the viral ecology in humans using viral profile hidden Markov models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 When human samples are sequenced, many assembled contigs are "unknown", as conventional alignments find no similarity to known sequences. Hidden Markov models (HMM) exploit the positions of specific nucleotides in protein-encoding codons in various ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 While viruses with distinct phylogenetic origins and different nucleic acid types can infect and lyse eukaryotic phytoplankton, “giant” dsDNA viruses have been found to be associated with important ecological processes, including the collapse of algal ...

The analysis of translation-related gene set boosts debates around origin and evolution of mimiviruses. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 The giant mimiviruses challenged the well-established concept of viruses, blurring the roots of the tree of life, mainly due to their genetic content.

Related Giant Viruses in Distant Locations and Different Habitats: Acanthamoeba polyphaga moumouvirus Represents a Third Lineage of the Mimiviridae That Is Close to the Megavirus Lineage [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2012 The 1,021,348 base pair genome sequence of the Acanthamoeba polyphaga moumouvirus, a new member of the Mimiviridae family infecting Acanthamoeba polyphaga, is reported. The moumouvirus represents a third lineage beside mimivirus and megavirus. Thereby, it is a new member of the recently proposed Megavirales order.
