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

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.

Oyster RNA-seq data support the development of Malacoherpesviridae genomics [PDF]

, 2017
The family of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) Malacoherpesviridae includes viruses able to infect marine mollusks and detrimental for worldwide aquaculture production. Due to fast-occurring mortality and a lack of permissive cell lines, the available data on

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 nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses in Tara Oceans microbial metagenomes [PDF]

, 2013
Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) constitute a group of eukaryotic viruses that can have crucial ecological roles in the sea by accelerating the turnover of their unicellular hosts or by causing diseases in animals. To better characterize the

Identification of Capsid/Coat Related Protein Folds and Their Utility for Virus Classification [PDF]

, 2017
The viral supergroup includes the entire collection of known and unknown viruses that roam our planet and infect life forms. The supergroup is remarkably diverse both in its genetics and morphology and has historically remained difficult to study and ...

A distinct lineage of giant viruses brings a rhodopsin photosystem to unicellular marine predators. [PDF]

, 2019
Giant viruses are remarkable for their large genomes, often rivaling those of small bacteria, and for having genes thought exclusive to cellular life.

Internal Nitrogen Pools Shape the Infection of Aureococcus anophagefferens CCMP 1984 by a Giant Virus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The pelagophyte Aureococcus anophagefferens blooms annually in shallow bays around the world, where it is hypothesized to outcompete other phytoplankton in part by using alternative nitrogen sources.

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 ...
