The genome of the brown alga
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008 Background Ectocarpus siliculosus virus-1 (EsV-1) is a lysogenic dsDNA virus belonging to the super family of nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) that infect Ectocarpus siliculosus, a marine filamentous brown alga. Previous studies indicated that

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-

High-throughput generic single-entity sequencing using droplet microfluidics. [PDF]
ImetaWe present Generic Single Entity Sequencing (GSE‐Seq), a droplet‐based workflow that generates monoclonal barcodes by one‐step PCR, performs dissolvable hydrogel‐enabled reactions for genome processing, and attaches barcodes during in‐droplet library preparation. Barcoded fragments are pooled and sequenced with PacBio long‐read sequencing. Barcodes are

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
