DNA transposons have colonized the genome of the giant virus Pandoravirus salinus [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Transposable elements are mobile DNA sequences that are widely distributed in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, where they represent a major force in genome evolution.

Virus evolution : the emergence of new ideas (and re-emergence of old ones)
, 2006 Reputed intractable, the question of the origin of viruses has long been neglected. In the modern literature 'Virus evolution' has come to refer to study more akin to population genetics, such as the world-wide scrutiny on new polymorphisms appearing ...

Lateral gene exchanges shape the genomes of amoeba-resisting microorganisms. [PDF]
, 2012 Based on Darwin's concept of the tree of life, vertical inheritance was thought to be dominant, and mutations, deletions, and duplication were streaming the genomes of living organisms.

Time-, Frequency-, and Wavevector-Resolved X-Ray Diffraction from Single Molecules
, 2014 Using a quantum electrodynamic framework, we calculate the off-resonant scattering of a broad-band X-ray pulse from a sample initially prepared in an arbitrary superposition of electronic states.

Pan-Genome Analysis of Brazilian Lineage A Amoebal Mimiviruses
Viruses, 2015 Since the recent discovery of Samba virus, the first representative of the family Mimiviridae from Brazil, prospecting for mimiviruses has been conducted in different environmental conditions in Brazil. Recently, we isolated using Acanthamoeba sp.

O-Linked glycosylation in Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus [PDF]
, 2017 Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus is a member of the giant nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, infecting various Acanthamoeba spp. The genomes of giant viruses encode components previously thought to be exclusive to cellular life, such as proteins ...

LAMARCKIAN EVOLUTION OF THE GIANT MIMIVIRUS IN ALLOPATRIC LABORATORY CULTURE ON AMOEBAE
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012 Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus has been subcultured 150 times on germ-free amoebae. This allopatric niche is very different from that found in the natural environment, where the virus is in competition with many other organisms.
