Promoter Motifs in NCLDVs: An Evolutionary Perspective [PDF]
Viruses, 2017 For many years, gene expression in the three cellular domains has been studied in an attempt to discover sequences associated with the regulation of the transcription process. Some specific transcriptional features were described in viruses, although few

Giant viruses as reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsNucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs; also called giant viruses), constituting the phylum Nucleocytoviricota, can infect a wide range of eukaryotes and exchange genetic material with not only their hosts but also prokaryotes and phages.

Covariance of Marine Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses with Eukaryotic Plankton Communities in the Sub-Arctic Kongsfjorden Ecosystem: A Metagenomic Analysis of Marine Microbial Ecosystems [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) infect various marine eukaryotes. However, little is known about NCLDV diversity and their relationships with eukaryotic hosts in marine environments, the elucidation of which will advance the current ...

Identification of a Potential Entry-Fusion Complex Based on Sequence Homology of African Swine Fever and Vaccinia Virus [PDF]
VirusesAfrican swine fever virus (ASFV) belongs to the family of Asfarviridae, part of the group of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV). Little is known about the internalization of ASFV in the host cell and the fusion membrane events that take place at

Characterization of Medusavirus encoded histones reveals nucleosome-like structures and a unique linker histone [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe organization of DNA into nucleosomes is a ubiquitous and ancestral feature that was once thought to be exclusive to the eukaryotic domain of life. Intriguingly, several representatives of the Nucleocytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV) encode histone-

ViralRecall—A Flexible Command-Line Tool for the Detection of Giant Virus Signatures in ‘Omic Data
Viruses, 2021 Giant viruses are widespread in the biosphere and play important roles in biogeochemical cycling and host genome evolution. Also known as nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs), these eukaryotic viruses harbor the largest and most complex viral ...

Quantitative assessment of NCLDV–host interactions predicted by co-occurrence analyses [PDF]
, 2020 AbstractNucleocytoplasmic DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are highly diverse and abundant in marine environments. However, knowledge of their hosts is limited because only a few NCLDVs have been isolated so far. Taking advantage of the recent large-scale marine metagenomics census,in silicohost prediction approaches are expected to fill the gap and further expand

A new species of nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) associated with mortalities in Manitoba lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013 A newly discovered virus, Namao virus, associated with morbidity and mortality, was detected among juvenile lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens being propagated by a conservation stocking program for this endangered species in Manitoba, Canada. The outbreaks resulted in cumulative mortalities of 62 to 99.6% among progeny of wild Winnipeg River or Nelson
