Virophages Found in Viromes from Lake Baikal
Biomolecules, 2023 In this study, a previously little-studied group of viruses—virophages—was searched for and identified in the viromes of the ancient oligotrophic Lake Baikal.

Exposure to Mimivirus collagen promotes arthritis [PDF]
, 2014 Collagens, the most abundant proteins in animals, also occur in some recently described nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses such as Mimiviridae, which replicate in amoebae.

Genomic comparison of closely related Giant Viruses supports an accordion-like model of evolution.
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Genome gigantism occurs so far in Phycodnaviridae and Mimiviridae (order Megavirales). Origin and evolution of these Giant Viruses (GVs) remain open questions.

Exploring Viral Diversity in a Unique South African Soil Habitat [PDF]
, 2018 The Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve in the Cape Floral Kingdom in South Africa is known for its unique plant biodiversity. The potential presence of unique microbial and viral biodiversity associated with this unique plant biodiversity led us to explore the ...

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.

High-level diversity of tailed phages, eukaryote-associated viruses, and virophage-like elements in the metaviromes of Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2014 The metaviromes of two distinct Antarctic hyperarid desert soil communities have been characterized. Hypolithic communities, cyanobacterium-dominated assemblages situated on the ventral surfaces of quartz pebbles embedded in the desert pavement, showed

Evolutionary Dynamics of Giant Viruses and their Virophages [PDF]
, 2013 Giant viruses contain large genomes, encode many proteins atypical for viruses, replicate in large viral factories, and tend to infect protists. The giant virus replication factories can in turn be infected by so called virophages, which are smaller ...

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 ...
