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 ...

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.

Guarani Virophage, a New Sputnik-Like Isolate From a Brazilian Lake
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Virophages are critical regulators of viral population dynamics and potential actors in the stability of the microbial networks. These small biological entities predate the replicative cycle of giant viruses, such as the members of the Mimiviridae family

Marseilleviruses: An Update in 2021
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The family Marseilleviridae was the second family of giant viruses that was described in 2013, after the family Mimiviridae. Marseillevirus marseillevirus, isolated in 2007 by coculture on Acanthamoeba polyphaga, is the prototype member of this family ...

Morphological and Genomic Features of the New Klosneuvirinae Isolate Fadolivirus IHUMI-VV54
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Since the discovery of Mimivirus, viruses with large genomes encoding components of the translation machinery and other cellular processes have been described as belonging to the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses. Recently, genome-resolved metagenomics

Development of eNA Sampling for Early Detection of Pathogens in On‐Farm Water Sources
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.We compare four water‐sampling methods for detecting microbial and viral eNA in livestock troughs and show all approaches effectively recover community profiles, supporting flexible, field‐ready surveillance of livestock pathogens. ABSTRACT Early detection of livestock pathogens is critical for mitigating risk and implementing timely control or ...

Hidden diversity of soil giant viruses
Nature Communications, 2018 Current knowledge of giant virus diversity is largely based on samples from aquatic environments. Here the authors employ cultivation-independent metagenomics and mini-metagenomics on forest soil and identify 16 novel giant virus genomes, some of which ...
