Phylogenetic and phyletic studies of informational genes in genomes highlight existence of a 4 domain of life including giant viruses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
The discovery of Mimivirus, with its very large genome content, made it possible to identify genes common to the three domains of life (Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea) and to generate controversial phylogenomic trees congruent with that of ribosomal genes,

Diversity and Ecological Potentials of Marine Viruses Inhabiting Continental Shelf Seas

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.
To the best of the knowledge, this study provides the largest viral genome dataset from a continental shelf sea. It reveals that over half of vOTUs are novel, highlighting the remarkable viral novelty in the eastern continental shelf seas of China (ECSSC).

The Transmissibility of the Human Skin Virome: Potential Forensic Implications

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
To robustly establish the forensic potential of the human skin virome, continuous research and investigation across diverse ethnic groups are necessary. This study evaluated the stability and transmissibility of the skin virome in Koreans. Our results show that the skin virome is stable over time and can be shared through contact with objects ...

A Next-Generation Sequencing Approach Uncovers Viral Transcripts Incorporated in Poxvirus Virions

Viruses, 2017
Transcripts are known to be incorporated in particles of DNA viruses belonging to the families of Herpesviridae and Mimiviridae, but the presence of transcripts in other DNA viruses, such as poxviruses, has not been analyzed yet.

Commensal Viruses Promote Intestinal Stem Cell Regeneration Following Radiation Damage by Inhibiting Hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch Signals

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
Ionizing radiation disrupts gut virome and bacteriome. Gut commensal viruses protect against intestinal damage and promote stem cell regeneration by inhibiting hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch signaling in stem cells. Fecal virome transplantation (FVT) from healthy donors can serve as a potential therapeutic intervention by enriching phages targeting
